The problem asks for a general algorithm for 'any range n' and an efficiency metric related to the size of the basis. The provided baseline is for g=1, which is a specific case of 'g-difference basis'. The efficiency metric is derived from the size of the constructed basis. The paper by Li and Yip (2025) deals with finite abelian groups, which is a more general setting but does not directly provide an explicit construction for integers in a range [1,N] with the specified efficiency metric." |
