Additional Constructions of Sequences of Alternating Sum and Difference Dominated Sets

Abstract: A More Sums Than Differences (MSTD) set is a finite set of integers $A$ where the cardinality of its sumset, $A+A$, is greater than the cardinality of its difference set, $A-A$. We address a problem posed by Samuel Allen Alexander that asks whether there exists an infinite sequence of sets alternating between being MSTD and More Differences Than Sums (MDTS), where each set properly contains the previous. While a companion paper resolved this using filling in' techniques, we solve the more challengingnon-filling-in' version, where any missing integer between a set's minimum and maximum elements remains missing in all subsequent sets.
