Sumario:Letk=2 be a positive integer. We study concentration results for the ordered representationfunctionsr=k(A, n) = #{(a1= ··· =ak)¿ Ak:a1+···+ak=n}andr<k(A, n) = #{(a1<···<ak)¿ Ak:a1+···+ak=n}for any infinite set of non-negative integersA. Our main theorem is anErd ¿os–Fuchs-type result for both functions: for anyc >0 and?¿{=, <}we show thatn¿j=0(r?k(A, j)-c)=o(n1/4log-1/2n)is not possible. We also show that the mean squared errorE?k,c(A, n) =1nn¿j=0(r?k(A, j)-c)2satisfies lim supn¿8E?k,c(A, n)>0. These results extend two theorems for the non-ordered representa-tion function proved by Erd ¿os and Fuchs in the case ofk= 2 (J. of the London Math. Society 1956)
