The full estimate, then, by the inductive hypothesis is
N 1 N 2+o(1) 1

|S| dN d 2 k−2 ≤ b 2 k−2 1

N 2+o(1) − 2 k−2 b .
So we obtain

S N b 2 k−1 ,
and the induction is complete.
Now we continue as follows:
Lemma 3. Let k> 1 be a fixed integer. There exists a C 1 such that,
for any positive integers N, a, b with (a, b) 1,
N

e n k ≤ C 1 N b .

Our endpoint will be the following:
Theorem. If, for each positive integer s, we write
r s (n) 1,
k k
n +···+n n
1 s
n i ≥0
then there exists g and C such that r g (n) ≤ Cè g/k−1 for all n> 0.
The previously cited notions of Schnirelmann allow deducing, the
full Waring result from this theorem:
There exists a G for which r G (n) > 0 for all n> 0.
To prove our theorem, since
