An improved lower bound for finite additive 2-bases
  A set of non-negative integers A is an additive 2-basis with range n, if its sumset A+A contains 0, 1, ..., n but not n+1. Explicit bases are known with arbitrarily large size |A|=k and $n/k^2 \ge 2/7 > 0.2857$. We present a more general construction and improve the lower bound to $85/294 > 0.2891$.
