On a problem of Nathanson on non-minimal additive complements

Abstract

Let CC and WW be two sets of integers. If C+W=ZC+W=\mathbb{Z}, then CC is called an additive complement to WW. We further call CC a minimal additive complement to WW if no proper subset of CC is an additive complement to WW. Answering a problem of Nathanson in part, we give sufficient conditions of WW which has no minimal additive complements. Our result also extends the prior result of Chen and Yang.
