Representation of positive integers by summands of a certain form (Q1701917)

Let \(P\) be a finite set of primes, and write \(A\) for the set of positive integers having no prime divisor outside \(P\). Put \(A_{\pm}=A\cup (-A)\). For \(k\geq 1\), let \(F(k)\) denote the smallest positive integer which cannot be represented as a sum of less than \(k\) elements of \(A\). The quantity \(F_{\pm}(k)\) is defined similarly, with \(A_{\pm}\) in place of \(A\). Earlier, \textit{R. Tijdeman} and the reviewer [Arch. Math. 98, No. 6, 527--533 (2012; Zbl 1258.11055)] gave explicit lower and upper bounds for \(F(k)\) and \(F_{\pm}(k)\). In the present paper, the author improves these estimates in the particular case \(P=\{2,3\}\).
