Abstract

We show that if S1 is a strongly complete sum-free set of positive integers, and if S0 is a finite sum-free set, then, with positive probability, a random sum-free set U contains S0 and is contained in S0 ∪ Si. As a corollary we show that, with positive probability, 2 is the only even element of a random sum-free set.
