Let N denote the set of all nonnegative integers and A be a subset of N. Let h be an integer with h≥ 2. Let n∈ N and r h (A, n)=♯{(a 1,…, a h)∈ A h: a 1+⋯+ a h= n}. The set A is called an asymptotic basis of order h if r h (A, n)≥ 1 for all sufficiently large integer n. An asymptotic basis A of order h is minimal if no proper subset of A is an asymptotic basis of order h. In 1988, Nathanson posed a problem on minimal asymptotic bases of order h. Recently, Chen and Tang showed that the answer to the problem is negative for h≥ 4 by constructing a special partition of N. In this paper, we give a new construction of minimal asymptotic bases. This construction expands our understanding on the problem of Nathanson.
