Is the sum of two negligible sets always a negligible set?












0












$begingroup$


Let $E$ and $F$ be two negligible sets, is the following sum always a negligible set?



$E + F = {x + y : x ∈
E, y ∈ F}$



I tend to say no but I can't find any counter exemple

          In general no. For instance, if $C$ is the Cantor set, then $C+C=[0,2]$.

            Thank you, I also found that the sum of the x-axis and the y-axis is equal to the whole plane for a more simple example
