Abstract
Let X be large and let P denote the set of primes. Fix positive real parameters r1,…,rs and a parameter λ>0 determined by a balancing relation, and let Aλ(X)⊂[1,2X] be the associated lacunary set generated by sums of powers of 2 with polynomially growing exponents. Set Sλ:=P+Aλ(X). Fix ε>0, choose θ with 2/15+ε<θ<1−δ0, where δ0>0 is an absolute constant, and set h=Xθ. We prove that for all but Oε(Xexp(−cε(logX)1/4)) values of x∈[X,2X], the short interval (x,x+h] contains between cεh and Cεh integers of the form p+a with p∈P and a∈Aλ(X).
