Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of all nonnegative integers. For a given set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ the representation function $R_{S}(n)$ counts the number of solutions of the equation $n=s+s^{\prime }$ with $s<s^{\prime }$ and $s,s^{\prime }\in S$. We obtain some results on a problem of Chen and Lev [‘Integer sets with identical representation functions’, Integers16 (2016), Article ID A36, 4 pages] about sets $A$ and $B$ such that $A\cup B=\mathbb{N}$, $A\cap B=r+m\mathbb{N}$ and whose representation functions coincide.
