摘要
In this paper we develop a method for determining the number of integers without large prime factors lying in a given set S. We will apply it to give an easy proof that certain sufficiently dense sets A and B always produce the expected number of "smooth" sums a + b, a epsilon A, b epsilon B. The proof of this result is completely combinatorial and elementary. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
