On minimal additive complements of integers (Q1633379)

Let \(\mathbb{Z}\) be the set of all integers. For \(A, B\subseteq \mathbb{Z}\), let \(A+B=\{ a+b : a\in A, b\in B \} \). \(A\) is called an additive complement to \(B\) if \(A+B=\mathbb{Z}\). \(A\) is called a minimal additive complement to \(B\) if none of proper subsets of \(A\) is an additive complement to \(B\). In 2011, \textit{M. B. Nathanson} [Int. J. Number Theory 7, No. 8, 1999--2017 (2011; Zbl 1252.11007)] proved that if \(B\) is a finite nonempty set of integers, then every additive complement to \(B\) contains a minimal additive complement to \(B\). In 2012, the reviewer and \textit{Q.-H. Yang} [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 26, No. 4, 1532--1536 (2012; Zbl 1261.11009)] gave some sufficient conditions for an infinite set \(W\) such that there is a minimal additive complement to \(W\). In this paper, the authors consider those infinite sets \(W\) which are eventually periodic and obtain a necessary condition and a sufficient condition that there is a minimal additive complement to \(W\). Two open problems are posed for further research.
