Abstract

Let C,WZC,W\subseteq \mathbb{Z}. If C+W=ZC+W=\mathbb{Z}, then the set CC is called an additive complement to WW in Z\mathbb{Z}. If no proper subset of CC is an additive complement to WW, then CC is called a minimal additive complement. Let XNX\subseteq \mathbb{N}. If there exists a positive integer TT such that x+TXx+T\in X for all sufficiently large integers xXx\in X, then we call XX eventually periodic. In this paper, we study the existence of a minimal complement to WW when WW is eventually periodic or not. This partially answers a problem of Nathanson.
