Erdős Problem #868 — Minimal Additive Bases with Many Representations

About 1 year old · traced to

For a set A⊆NA\subseteq\mathbb N and o,n∈No,n\in\mathbb N, let rA,o(n)r_{A,o}(n) be the number of functions a:{0,…,o−1}→Na:\{0,\ldots,o-1\}\to\mathbb N such that every value of aa lies in AA and

∑i=0o−1a(i)=n.\sum_{i=0}^{o-1}a(i)=n.

Is it true that every asymptotic additive basis AA of order 22 for which

rA,2(n)⟶∞(n→∞)r_{A,2}(n)\longrightarrow\infty\qquad(n\to\infty)

contains a subset B⊆AB\subseteq A that is an asymptotic additive basis of order 22 and is minimal in the sense that, for every b∈Bb\in B, the set B∖{b}B\setminus\{b\} is not an asymptotic additive basis of order 22?
