Erdős problem 326

Does there exist A={a1<a2<}NA=\{a_1<a_2<\cdots\}\subset \mathbb{N} which is a minimal basis of order 22 (every large integer is the sum of 22 elements from AA, and no proper subset of AA has this property) such that limkak/k2=c\lim_{k\to \infty}a_k/k^2=c for some c0c\neq 0? A claimed construction gives a minimal basis with A(x)=Cx+O(1)A(x)=C\sqrt{x}+O(1), answering the question affirmatively; Erdős and Graham had conjectured a negative answer.
