The lower bound as a function of the dimension and the cardinalities #
The lower bound in Ruzsa's theorem for sets A and B with |A| = n ≥ |B| = m and A + B of
affine dimension d is sumsetCardLowerBound d m n = n + ∑ t ∈ {1, …, m - 1}, min d (n - t), the
function G_d(m, n) of the paper. The induction in the proof removes one point from A, from
B, or from both, and the dimension stays the same or drops by one. This file proves the
inequality between the values of the bound that each of these cases needs.
The lower bound G_d(m, n) of Ruzsa's theorem for the size of a sumset of affine dimension d
of sets of sizes m ≤ n.

G_d(m, n) = G_d(m - 1, n - 1) + min (d + 1) n for m ≥ 2.
The case in which one point is removed from each set and the dimension does not change: the
sumset loses at least d + 1 points.
The case in which one point is removed from each set and the dimension drops by one: the
sumset loses at least n points.
The case in which one point is removed from the smaller set and the dimension drops by one:
the sumset loses at least n points.
The case in which the sets have the same size m, one point is removed from one of them and
the dimension drops by one: the sumset loses at least m points.
The case in which one point is removed from the strictly larger set and the dimension drops
by one: the sumset loses at least m points.
