Let be an irrational number. Is the set
where denotes the distance to the nearest integer, an additive basis of order ?

An accepted solution exists. The statement is false.
Disproved. Konieczny [Ko16b] proves that the set is not an additive basis of order two for almost every , and explicitly for , with any in place of ; for thresholds decaying slowly enough (an -dependent rate that the paper does not relate to ) the set is a basis of order two for uncountably many exceptional and of order three for every irrational . The accepted claim is Konieczny.
