Erdős problem 32

Does there exist a set A⊆NA \subseteq \mathbb{N} such that ∣A∩{1,…,N}∣=o((log⁡N)2)|A \cap \{1, \ldots, N\}| = o((\log N)^2) and every sufficiently large integer can be written as p+ap + a for some prime pp and a∈Aa \in A?

Erdős proved in [Erd54] that there exists an additive complement AA to the primes with ∣A∩{1,…,N}∣=O((log⁡N)2)|A \cap \{1, \ldots, N\}| = O((\log N)^2).
