Abstract

There exists a set AA of positive integers such that the number of representations of a large positive integer mm as a sum of two elements of AA grows with a lower bound of order logm\log m, but for which there is no subset DD of AA minimal for the property that D+DD+D contains all sufficiently large positive integers.
