Abstract
For a set A of nonnegative integers the representation functions R 2A n and R 3A n are defined as the numbers of solutions to the equation n = a + a′ with a a′ ∈ A a a′ and a ⩽ a′ respectively Let ℕ be the set of nonnegative integers Given n 0 0 it is known that there exist A A′ ⊆ ℕ such that R 2A′ n = R 2ℕ A′ n and R 3A n = R 3ℕ A n for all n ⩾ n 0 We obtain several related results For example we prove that If A ⊆ ℕ such that R 3A n = R 3ℕ A n for all n ⩾ n 0 then 1 for any n ⩾ n 0 we have R 3A n = R 3ℕ A n c 1 n − c 2 where c 1 c 2 are two positive constants depending only on n 0 2 for any alpha frac1 16 the set of integers n with R 3A n αn has the density one The answers to the four problems in ChenTang 2009 are affirmative We also pose two open problems for further research
