Let $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$ be an infinite set such that $|A\cap {1, ..., N}| = o(N)$. Is it true that $$ \limsup_{N\to\infty}\frac{|(A + A)\cap {1, ..., N}|}{|A \cap {1, ..., N}|} \geq 3? $$

The answer is yes, proved by Freiman [Fr73].

[Fr73] Fre\u{\i}man, G. A., Foundations of a structural theory of set addition. (1973), vii+108.
