On Integer sequences in Product sets

Abstract

Let $B$ be a finite set of natural numbers or complex numbers. Product set corresponding to $B$ is defined by $B.B:=\{ab:a,b\in B\}$. In this paper we give an upper bound for longest length of consecutive terms of a polynomial sequence present in a product set accurate up to a positive constant. We give a sharp bound on the maximum number of Fibonacci numbers present in a product set when $B$ is a set of natural numbers and a bound which is accurate up to a positive constant when $B$ is a set of complex numbers.
