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…

A set A of positive integers is called a h-bais of [0,n] if each integer in [0,n]is a sum of no more than h members of A. In this paper, we will give a new construction for h-basis.

For a non-integral real number $c>1$, let $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}:=\{\lfloor n^c\rfloor ~|~ n\in\mathbb{N}\}$. We show that $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}$ contains thin subbases of every order $h\geq 5$ when $1<c<2$, and $h\geq (\lfloor 2c\rfloor+1)(\lfloor…

Let A be an asymptotic basis for N_0 of some order. By an essentiality of A one means a subset P such that A\P is no longer an asymptotic basis of any order and such that P is minimal among all subsets of A with this property. A finite…

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 $h,k \ge 2$ 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…

A set $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be an additive $h$-basis if each element in $\{0,1,\ldots,hn\}$ can be written as an $h$-sum of elements of $\mathcal{A}$ in {\it at least} one way. We seek multiple representations as $h$-sums, and, in this…

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…

The set A = {a_n} of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order h if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of h elements of A. If a_n ~ alpha n^h for some real number alpha > 0, then alpha is called an…

A thin Lie algebra is a Lie algebra graded over the positive integers satisfying a certain narrowness condition. We describe several cyclic grading of the modular Hamiltonian Lie algebras $H(2\colon\n;\omega_2)$ (of dimension one less than…

In this paper we investigate how small the density of a multiplicative basis of order $h$ can be in $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ and in $\mathbb{Z}^+$. Furthermore, a related problem of Erd\H os is also studied: How dense can a set of integers be, if…

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…
