Abstract:

A weakly complete sequence is an increasing sequence of positive integers such that every sufficiently large integer can be written as a sum of distinct terms of the sequence. In this article, we give a partial proof of a conjecture of Paul giving a formula for weakly complete sequences formed using a natural procedure.
