A construction of maximal asymptotic nonbases.

Let denote the set of all nonnegative integers and be a subset of . The set is called an asymptotic basis of order if every sufficiently large integer can be written as the sum of two elements of . Otherwise, is called an asymptotic nonbasis of order . Let denote the number of representations of in the form , where and . An asymptotic nonbasis of order is called a maximal asymptotic nonbasis of order if is an asymptotic basis of order for every . In this paper, a maximal asymptotic nonbasis is constructed satisfying for all and as , where is an increasing sequence of . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
