Erdős Problem 624

Let XX be a finite set of size nn and H(n)H(n) be such that there is a function f:{A:AX}Xf:\{A : A\subseteq X\}\to X so that for every YXY\subseteq X with YH(n)\lvert Y\rvert \geq H(n) we have {f(A):AY}=X\left\{ f(A) : A\subseteq Y\right\}=X. Prove that $H(n)-\log_2 n \to \in...

Mathematical statement

Let XX be a finite set of size nn and H(n)H(n) be such that there is a function f:{A:AX}Xf:\{A : A\subseteq X\}\to X so that for every YXY\subseteq X with YH(n)\lvert Y\rvert \geq H(n) we have {f(A):AY}=X\left\{ f(A) : A\subseteq Y\right\}=X. Prove that H(n)log2nH(n)-\log_2 n \to \infty.

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.
