Freiman’s theorem


Let A be a finite setMathworldPlanetmath of integers such that the 2-fold sumset 2A is “small”, i.e., |2A|<c|A| for some constant c. There exists an n-dimensional arithmetic progression (http://planetmath.org/MulidimensionalArithmeticProgression) of length c|A| that contains A, and such that c and n are functions of c only.
