Abstract

A sequence of natural numbers is complete if every large integer is a sum of distinct elements of the sequence. The greatest integer which is not such a sum is called the threshold of completeness. Richert developed a method to compute the threshold of completeness. We prove that Richert’s method applies to a large class of complete sequences. Further, we consider in some detail these concepts for the sequences of powers (with fixed exponents) and give numerical results.
