Resumo

A set A of integers is said to be non-averaging if the arithmetic mean of two or more members of A is not in A. A is said to be non-dividing if no member divides the sum of two or more others.In this paper we investigate some of the many extremal problems which arise in connection with nonaveraging and non-dividing sets. = 0Let r = t(B -I) 2 and partition {1, 2, , n} into r sets S l9 S 2 , , S r where H.
