      <abstract>If $A$ is a set of positive integers, let $R_{1}
      (n)$ be the number of solutions of $a+a' = n $, $a$, $a'\in
      A$, and let $R_{2}(n)$ and $R_{3}(n)$ denote the number of
      solutions with the additional restrictions $a &lt; a'$, and
      $a\leq a'$ respectively. The monotonicity properties of the
      three functions $R_{1}(n)$, $R_{2}(n)$, and $R_{3}(n)$ are
      studied and compared.</abstract>
