Does anyone have a suggestion?
If I may rephrase this -- you have a set of integers. You want to save
some set of statistics about the set that would allow you to
reconstruct the set. In general, the set itself is a minimal set of
information that would allow you to reconstruct it -- consider a
randomly generated set of numbers, for example. So either you must
have more information about the set, or perhaps I don't understand what
you're trying to accomplish.
