Abstract

We prove that for pairwise co-prime numbers k1,,kd2k_1,\dots,k_d \geq 2 there does not exist any infinite set of positive integers A\mathcal{A} such that the representation function rA(n)=#{(a1,,ad)Ad:k1a1++kdad=n}r_{\mathcal{A}}(n) = \# \{ (a_1, \dots, a_d) {\in} \mathcal{A}^d : k_1 a_1 + \cdots + k_d a_d = n \} becomes constant for nn large enough. This result is a particular case of our main theorem, which poses a further step towards answering a question of Sárközy and Sós and widely extends a previous result of Cilleruelo and Rué for bivariate linear forms (Bull. of the London Math. Society, 2009).
