Product Representations of Polynomials

Abstract:

For a fixed polynomial $f \in \mathbb Z_k[X]$, let $\rho_k(N)$ denote the maximum size of a set $A \subset \{1,2,\dots,N\}$ such that no product of $k$ distinct elements of $A$ is in the value set of $f$. This problem was studied by Erd\H{o}s and Erd\H{o}s, S\'{o}s and S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy
