Abstract
Let be a non-empty subset of the integers. A nonempty set is said to be an asymptotic complement to if contains almost all the integers except a set of finite size. is said to be a minimal asymptotic complement if is an asymptotic complement, but is not an asymptotic complement . Asymptotic complements have been studied in the context of representations of integers since the time of Erd\H{o}s, Hanani, Lorentz and others, while the notion of minimal asymptotic complements is due to Nathanson. In this article, we study minimal asymptotic complements in and deal with a problem of Nathanson on their existence and their inexistence.
