On Additive Complements in the Complement of a Set of Natural Numbers
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Let A be a set of natural numbers. A set B of natural numbers is an additive complement of the set A if all sufficiently large natural numbers can be represented in the form $x+y$ , where $x\in A$ and $y\in B$ . We establish that if $A=\{a_i: i\in \mathbb {N}\}$ is a set of natural numbers such that $a_i for $i \in \mathbb {N}$ and $\liminf _{n\rightarrow \infty } (a_{n+1}/a_{n})>1$ , then there exists a set $B\subset \mathbb {N}$ such that $B\cap A = \varnothing $ and B is a sparse additive complement of the set A .
