Abstract

For a set AA of nonnegative integers, let R2(A,n)R_2(A,n) and R3(A,n)R_3(A,n) denote the number of solutions to n=a+an=a+a' with a,aAa,a'\in A, a<aa<a' and aaa\leq a', respectively. In this paper, we prove that, if ANA\subseteq \mathbb{N} and NN is a positive integer such that R2(A,n)=R2(NA,n)R_2(A,n)=R_2(\mathbb{N}\setminus A,n) for all n2N1n\geq2N-1, then for any θ\theta with 0<θ<2log2log342log29log30<\theta<\frac{2\log2-\log3}{42\log 2-9\log3}, the set of integers nn with R2(A,n)=n8+O(n1θ)R_2(A,n)=\frac{n}{8}+O(n^{1-\theta}) has density one. The similar result holds for R3(A,n)R_3(A,n). These improve the results of the first author.
