Erdős Problem 517

If f(z) = ∑ aₖzⁿₖ is an entire function (with aₖ ≠ 0 for all k) such that nₖ / k → ∞, is it true that f assumes every value infinitely often?

Mathematical statement

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.
