Extract

In 1942 Piccard [10] gave an example of a set of real numbers whose sum set has zero Lebesgue measure but whose difference set contains an interval. About thirty years later various authors (Connolly, Jackson, Williamson and Woodall) in a series of papers constructed F σ sets E in ℝ such that E – E contains an interval while the K-fold sum set

has zero Lebesgue measure for progressively larger values of k.
