A Note on Additive Complements (2205.04128v1)

Abstract: Two infinite sequences A and B of non-negative integers are called additive complements, if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. Let $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ be the counting functions of A and B. In this paper, we extend the results of Liu and Fang in 2016 and obtain some results on additive complements. For example, we prove that there exist additive complements $A$ and $B$ such that $\limsup_{x\to+\infty} A(x)B(x)/x= 2$ and $A(x)B(x) - x = 1$ for infinitely positive integers $x$.
