Erdős problem 870

Let k3k\geq 3 and AA be an additive basis of order kk. Does there exist a constant c=c(k)>0c=c(k)>0 such that if r(n)clognr(n)\geq c\log n for all large nn (where r(n)r(n) counts representations of nn as a sum of at most kk elements of AA) then AA must contain a minimal basis of order kk? The claimed answer is no, for every k3k\geq 3.
