Unique decipherability in the additive monoid of sets of numbers
RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications, Tome 45 (2011) no. 2, pp. 225-234.

Sets of integers form a monoid, where the product of two sets A and B is defined as the set containing a+b for all a∈A and b∈B. We give a characterization of when a family of finite sets is a code in this monoid, that is when the sets do not satisfy any nontrivial relation. We also extend this result for some infinite sets, including all infinite rational sets.
