Abstract

For \(A\subseteq {\mathbb {Q}}\), \(\alpha \in {\mathbb {Q}}\), let \(r_{A}(\alpha )=\#\{(a_{1}, a_{2})\in A^{2}: \alpha =a_{1}+a_{2}, a_{1}\le a_{2}\},\) \(\delta _{A}(\alpha )=\#\{(a_{1}, a_{2})\in A^{2}: \alpha =a_{1}-a_{2} \}.\) In this paper, we construct a set \(A\subset {\mathbb {Q}}\) such that \(r_{A}(\alpha )=1\) for all \(\alpha \in {\mathbb {Q}}\) and \(\delta _{A}(\alpha )=1\) for all \(\alpha \in {\mathbb {Q}}\setminus \{{0}\}\).
