Erdős Problem 340

Mathematical statement

Let $A = \{1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 21, 31, 45, 66, 81, 97, \ldots\}$ be the greedy Sidon sequence: we begin with $1$ and iteratively include the next smallest integer that preserves the Sidon property (i.e. there are no non-trivial solutions to $a + b = c + d$ ). What is the order of growth of $A$ ? Is it true that $|A \cap \{1, \ldots, N\}| \gg N^{1/2 - \varepsilon}$ for all $\varepsilon > 0$ and large $N$ ?

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.
