Green's Open Problem 24

If AA is a set of nn integers, what is the maximum number of affine translates of the set {0,1,3}\lbrace 0,1,3 \rbrace that AA can contain?

Mathematical statement

If AA is a set of nn integers, what is the maximum number of affine translates of the set {0,1,3}\lbrace 0,1,3 \rbrace that AA can contain?

Conjectured in [Aa19] p.579: (13+o(1))n2\left({1}{3} + o(1)\right) n^2.

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.
