%0 Journal Article %T Some applications of W. Rudin's inequality to problems of combinatorial number theory %A Ilya D. Shkredov %J Uniform Distribution Theory %D 2011 %I Mathematical Institute of the Slovak Academy of Sciences %X In the paper we obtain some new applicationsof well-known W. Rudin's theorem concerning lacunaryseries to problems of combinatorial number theory.We generalize a result of M.-C. Chang on $L_2{\Lambda}$-norm of Fourier coefficients of a set(here $\Lambda$ is a dissociated set),and prove a dual version of the theorem. Our main instrumentis computing of eigenvalues of some operators. %K Abelian group %K matrix %K singular %K eigenvalue %K prime %K Fourier transformation %U http://www.boku.ac.at/MATH/udt/vol06/no2/08Shkredov11-2.pdf
