Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of all nonnegative integers and $A$ be a subset of $\mathbb{N}$. Let $h\geq2$ and let $r_h(A,n)=\sharp \{ (a_1,\ldots,a_h)\in A^{h}: a_1+\cdots+a_h=n\}.$ The set $A$ is called an asymptotic basis of order $h$…

In this article we study the notion of essential subset of an additive basis, that is to say the minimal finite subsets $P$ of a basis $A$ such that $A \setminus P$ doesn't remains a basis. The existence of an essential subset for a basis…

Let $A$ be an additive basis. We call ``essential subset'' of $A$ any finite subset $P$ of $A$ such that $A \setminus P$ is not an additive basis and that $P$ is minimal (for the inclusion order) to have this property. A recent theorem due…

Let A be an asymptotic basis for N and X a finite subset of A such that A\X is still an asymptotic basis. Farhi recently proved a new batch of upper bounds for the order of A\X in terms of the order of A and a variety of parameters related…

Let $h,k \ge 2$ be integers. A set $A$ of positive integers is called asymptotic basis of order $k$ if every large enough positive integer can be written as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. A set of positive integers $A$ is said to be a…

For integer $h\geq2$ and $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$, we define $hA$ to be all integers which can be written as a sum of $h$ elements of $A$. The set $A$ is called an asymptotic basis of order $h$ if $n\in hA$ for all sufficiently large integers…

Let A be a set of integers. For every integer n, let r_{A,h}(n) denote the number of representations of n in the form n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_h, where a_1, a_2,...,a_h are in A and a_1 \leq a_2 \leq ... \leq a_h. The function r_{A,h}: Z \to…

The set $A$ is an asymptotic nonbasis of order $h$ for an additive abelian group $X$ if there are infinitely many elements of $X$ not in the $h$-fold sumset $hA$. For all $h \geq 2$, this paper constructs new classes of asymptotic nonbases…

Plagne recently determined the asymptotic behavior of the function E(h), which counts the maximum possible number of essential elements in an additive basis for N of order h. Here we extend his investigations by studying asymptotic behavior…

In additive number theory, a finite set $A$ of integers is an $h$-basis for $n$ if every integer in $\{0,1,2,\ldots, n\}$ can be represented as the sum of exactly $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. This paper introduces a new…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. A nonempty subset $A$ in $G$ is called a basis of order $h$ if $hA=G$; when $hA \neq G$, it is called a nonbasis of order $h$. Our interest is in all possible sizes of $hA$ when $A$ is a nonbasis of order…

Building on previous work by Lambert, Plagne and the third author, we study various aspects of the behavior of additive bases in infinite abelian groups and semigroups. We show that, for every infinite abelian group $T$, the number of…
