    A set \(A\) of positive integers is an asymptotic basis of order \(h\) if every sufficiently large integer \(n\) can be written as a sum of \(h\) elements of \(A\). If no proper subset of \(A\) is an asymptotic basis of order \(h\), then \(A\) is a minimal asymptotic basis of that order. The authors prove that there exists a minimal asymptotic basis \(A\) of order \(2\) such that for every \(k\in {\mathbb N}\) \[ \frac 12 k\leq A(k)\leq \frac 12 k+1, \] where \[ A(k)=|\{a\in A:1\leq a\leq k\}|. \]
