On additive complements with special structures
Let \(\mathbb{N}\) be the set of positive integers. Two subsets \(A,B\) of \(\mathbb{N}\) are called \textit{additive complements} if and only if their sumset \(A+B:=\{a+b~; a\in A,b\in B\}\) contains all sufficiently large positive integers. The paper is devoted\N\N1) to the study of additive complements having or not having some specific properties, especially concerning \(A\cap B;\)\N\N2) to the study of analogous properties when one replaces the property ``\(\mathbb{N}\setminus(A+B)\) is finite of additive complements by the property that \(A+B\) has prescribed asymptotic density \(d(A+B)=\alpha.\) Here \(dX\) is the limit, when \(n\) tends to \(+\infty,\) of \({\frac{1}{n}}|X\cap[1,n]|.\)\N\NConcerning 1), the main theorem proved in the paper is Theorem 2.3 : ``Let \(\alpha\) be a real number, \(0\leq\alpha\leq1.\) Then there exists a set \(A\subset\mathbb{N}\) with \(dA=\alpha\) such that there is no additive complement of \(A\) included in the complement \(A^c:=\mathbb{N}\setminus A\) of \(A.\)\N\NAs for 2), the authors prove Theorem 2.6 : ``Let \(\alpha\) be a real number, \(0<\alpha\leq1.\) Then\N\N(a) there exists a set \(A\subset\mathbb{N}\) such that \(dA=\alpha\) and \(A\) contains infinitely many primes;\N\N(b) there exists a set \(A\subset\mathbb{N}\) such that \(dA=\alpha\) and \(A\) does not contain any prime. Then they use this theorem and other properties in order to solve specific cases of 2) and they finish with four open questions.\N\NIn some points the authors are inspired from ideas used in two papers by \textit{P. Leonetti} and \textit{S. Tringali} [Monatsh. Math. 198, No. 3, 565--580 (2022; Zbl 1497.11023); Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 109, No. 3, 414--419 (2024; Zbl 1550.11022)].
