On subsets of asymptotic bases by Xu, Ji-Zhen, Chen, Yong-Gao

“…In this paper, we prove that if $A$ is an asymptotic basis of order $h$ and $B$ is a nonempty subset of $A$, then either there exists a finite subset $F$ of $A$ such that $F\cup B$ is an asymptotic basis of order $h$, or for any $\varepsilon >0$, there exists a finite subset $F_\varepsilon $ of $A$ such that $d_L(h(F_\varepsilon \cup B))\ge hd_L(B)-\varepsilon $, where $d_L(X)$ denotes the lower asymptotic density of $X$ and $hX$ denotes the set of all $x_1+\cdots +x_h$ with $x_i\in X$ $(1\le i\le h)$. …”
