If A \ F is a basis for every finite set F and A has positive lower density, then A has a restricted order: every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a bounded number of distinct elements of A. This is a partial result on Erdős Problem 338 (Erdős and Graham ask whether every such A, without the density condition, has a restricted order). The proof counts pairs to show that, for every R, the numbers with at least R representations as a sum of two distinct elements of A have positive lower density, uniformly in R; uses Kneser's theorem for finite abelian groups to write all large numbers of…
