Erdős Problem #880 — Bounded gaps between restricted sums from an asymptotic basis

About 28 years old · traced to

Let A={a1<a2<⋯ }⊆NA=\{a_1<a_2<\cdots\}\subseteq\mathbb{N} be an asymptotic basis of order kk, so every sufficiently large integer is a sum of at most kk elements of AA. If B={b1<b2<⋯ }B=\{b_1<b_2<\cdots\} consists of the integers representable as sums of at most kk distinct elements of AA, must lim sup⁡i→∞(bi+1−bi)<∞\limsup_{i\to\infty}(b_{i+1}-b_i)<\infty?
