Abstract.   In this short note, we see the equivalence of Motzkin's maximal density of integral sets whose no two elements are allowed to differ by an element of a given set M of positive integers and the measures of difference intersectivity defined by Ruzsa. Further more, the maximal density μ(M) has been determined for some infinite sets M and in a specific case of generalized arithmetic progression of dimension two a lower bound has been given for μ(M).

Keywords:  upper asymptotic density; maximal density; generalized arithmetic progression.
