Review:  [This article was published in the book announced in Zbl 512.00007.]
Denoting by f(n) the largest integer such that for every {1 \leq a1 \leq ... \leq an} integer set there are at least f(n) distinct numbers of the form ai+aj, aiaj, 1 \leq i \leq j \leq n, the authors prove that

n1+c1 < f(n) < n2\exp(-c2 log n/ log log n).

Some other related results and a lot of related conjectures are also discussed. The proof is self-contained and based only on elementary combinatorial arguments.
