ϕ2(N,n). To this end, observe that a + b = N + n implies b>n, and consider<br />

the count<br />

#{b ∈ [n, N] :b ≡ 0,n (mod N)}.<br />

By estimating that count, conclude that for a suitable absolute constant C<br />

and even n ∈ [N/2+1,N − 1]<br />

rN(n) ≥ C<br />

n<br />

(ln ln N) 2 − 2m+1 .<br />

This settles Theorem 9.5.13 for large enough products N, and the smaller<br />

cases one may require such as N =2, 6, 30 can be handled by inspecting the<br />

finite number of cases n
