Erdős Problem 357: Little O Version

Let f(n)f(n) be the maximal kk such that there exist integers 1a1<<akn1 \le a_1 < \dotsc < a_k \le n such that all sums of the shape uivai\sum_{u \le i \le v} a_i are distinct. How does f(n)f(n) grow? Can we find a (good) explicit function gg such that g=o(f)g = o(f) ?

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.
