Abstract

Let N\mathbb{N} denote the set of all nonnegative integers and AA be a subset of N\mathbb{N}. Let h2h\geq2 and let rh(A,n)={(a1,,ah)Ah:a1++ah=n}.r_h(A,n)=\sharp \{ (a_1,\ldots,a_h)\in A^{h}: a_1+\cdots+a_h=n\}. The set AA is called an asymptotic basis of order hh if rh(A,n)1r_h(A,n)\geq 1 for all sufficiently large integers nn. An asymptotic basis AA of order hh is minimal if no proper subset of AA is an asymptotic basis of order hh. Recently, Chen and Tang resoved a problem of Nathanson on minimal asymptotic bases of order hh. In this paper, we generalized this result to gg-adic representations.
