Abstract
In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive integers in order to conclude that the sum of generalized polygonal numbers represents every positive integer. The sub-class of sums of generalized polygonal numbers which we consider is those sums of -gonal numbers for which and we obtain a bound on the asymptotic growth of a constant such that it suffices to check the representability condition for .
