Erdős Problem 14: I

Let ANA ⊆ \mathbb{N}. Let BNB ⊆ \mathbb{N} be the set of integers which are representable in exactly one way as the sum of two elements from AA. Is it true that for all ϵ>0\epsilon > 0 and large NN, $|{1,\ldots,N} \setminus B| \gg_\epsilon N^{1/2 - \epsi...

Mathematical statement

Let ANA ⊆ \mathbb{N}. Let BNB ⊆ \mathbb{N} be the set of integers which are representable in exactly one way as the sum of two elements from AA. Is it true that for all ϵ>0\epsilon > 0 and large NN, {1,,N}BϵN1/2ϵ|\{1,\ldots,N\} \setminus B| \gg_\epsilon N^{1/2 - \epsilon}?

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
