On the structure of the h-fold sumsets
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 359 (2021) no. 4, pp. 493-500.

Let A be a set of nonnegative integers. Let (hA) (t) be the set of all integers in the sumset hA that have at least t representations as a sum of h elements of A. In this paper, we prove that, if k2, and A=a 0 ,a 1 ,,a k is a finite set of integers such that 0=a 0 <a 1 <<a k and gcda 1 ,a 2 ,,a k =1, then there exist integers c t ,d t and sets C t [0,c t -2], D t [0,d t -2] such that

(hA) (t) =C t c t ,ha k -d t ha k-1 -D t

for all h i=2 k (ta i -1)-1. This improves a recent result of Nathanson with the bound h(k-1)(ta k -1)a k +1.
