Abstract

Let P\mathcal{P} denote the set of all primes. P1,P2,P3P_{1},P_{2},P_{3} are three subsets of P\mathcal{P}. Let δ(Pi)\underline{\delta}(P_{i}) (i=1,2,3)(i=1,2,3) denote the lower density of PiP_{i} in P\mathcal{P}, respectively. It is proved that if δ(P1)>5/8\underline{\delta}(P_{1})>5/8, δ(P2)5/8\underline{\delta}(P_{2})\geq5/8, and δ(P3)5/8\underline{\delta}(P_{3})\geq5/8, then for every sufficiently large odd integer n, there exist piPip_{i} \in P_{i} such that n=p1+p2+p3n=p_{1}+p_{2}+p_{3}. The condition is the best possible.
