Abstract

We give a sufficient and necessary condition on the sequence { a n } \{a_n\} of integers that for any integer l 1 l\ge 1 , every integer can be represented in the form ε l a l + ε l + 1 a l + 1 + + ε k a k \varepsilon _l a_l+\varepsilon _{l+1} a_{l+1}+\cdots + \varepsilon _ka_k , where ε i { 1 , 1 }   ( i = l , l + 1 , , k ) \varepsilon _i\in \{-1, 1\}\ (i=l,l+1,\ldots , k) . This generalizes the known result on integral-valued polynomial values. Moreover, we show that such sequences exist with any growth rate. This answers two problems posed by Bleicher. We also pose several problems for further research.
