Abstract

Let A=(A1,,Aq)\mathbf{A} = (A_1,\ldots, A_q) be a qq-tuple of finite sets of integers. Associated to every qq-tuple of nonnegative integers h=(h1,,hq)\mathbf{h} = (h_1,\ldots, h_q) is the linear form hA=h1A1++hqAq\mathbf{h}\cdot \mathbf{A} = h_1 A_1 + \cdots + h_qA_q. The set (hA)(t)(\mathbf{h}\cdot \mathbf{A} )^{(t)} consists of all elements of this sumset with at least tt representations. The structure of the set (hA)(t)(\mathbf{h}\cdot \mathbf{A} )^{(t)} is computed for all sufficiently large hih_i.
