Abstract
Let 𝒫 denote the set of all primes. Suppose that P
1, P
2, P
3 are three subsets of 𝒫 with d
𝒫(P
1) + d
𝒫(P
2) + d
𝒫(P
3) > 2, where d
𝒫(Pi) is the lower density of Pi relative to 𝒫. We prove that for every sufficiently large odd integer n, there exist pi ∈ Pi such that n = p
1 + p
2 + p
3.
