Correct order on some certain weighted representation functions by Chen, Shi-Qiang, Ding, Yuchen, Lü, Xiaodong, Zhang, Yuhan

“…In a very recent article, another Chen (the first named author) slightly improved Qu’s result and obtained that \[ \liminf _{n\,\rightarrow \,\infty }\frac{r_{1,k}(A,n)}{\log n}>0. \] In this note, we further improve the lower bound on $r_{1,k}(A,n)$ by showing that \[ \liminf _{n\,\rightarrow \,\infty }\frac{r_{1,k}(A,n)}{n}>0. \] Our bound reflects the correct order of magnitude of the representation function $r_{1,k}(A,n)$ under the above restrictions due to the trivial fact that $r_{1,k}(A,n)\le n/k…”
