If A is a set of positive integers, let R1 (n) be the number of solutions of a + a = n, a. aA, and let R2(n) and R3(n) denote the number of solutions with the additional restrictions a < a, and aa respectively. The monotonicity properties of the three functions R1(n), R2(n), and R3(n) are studied and compared.
