Abstract: It is known that for an arbitrary positive integer (n) the sequence (S(x^n)=(1^n, 2^n, ldots)) is complete, meaning that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of distinct (n)th powers of positive integers. We prove that every integer (mgeq (b-1)2^{n-1}(r+frac{2}{3}(b-1)(2^{2n}-1)+2(b-2))^n-2a+ab), where (a=n!2^{n^2}), (b=2^{n^3}a^{n-1}), (r=2^{n^2-n}a), is a sum of distinct (n)th powers of positive integers.
