Abstract

We show that in the context of homogeneous Cantor sets, there are generically five possible (open and dense) structures for their arithmetic sum: a Cantor set, an L, R, M-Cantorval and a finite union of closed intervals. The dense case has been dealt with previously. In this paper, we explicitly present pairs of this space which have stable intersection, while not satisfying the generalized thickness test. Also, all the pairs of middle homogeneous Cantor sets whose arithmetic sum is a closed interval are identified.
