For a set A of positive integers and any positive integer n, let $R_{1}(A, n)$,
$R_{2}(A,n)$ and
$R_{3}(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions of
$a+a^{\prime }=n$ with
$a, a^{\prime }\in A$ and the additional restriction that
$a<a^{\prime }$ for
$R_{2}$ and
$a\leq a^{\prime }$ for
$R_{3}$. We consider Problem 6 of Erdős et al. [‘On additive properties of general sequences’, Discrete Math. 136 (1994), 75–99] about locally small and locally large values of
$R_{1}, R_{2}$ and
$R_{3}$.
