Questions, not proof records

Open-problem statements, with their sources attached.

Each statement record keeps the mathematical question, a dated status source, accessible references, and any pinned Lean formulation separate from proof verification.

“Open” is a dated source assertion. In these pinned sources, sorry marks an admitted statement, not a proof. Source indexing does not mean the formulation has been independently built or certified by Therefore.

Erdős Problem 254

Let ANA\subseteq \mathbb{N} be such that A[1,2x]A[1,x] as x\lvert A\cap [1,2x]\rvert -\lvert A\cap [1,x]\rvert \to \infty\textrm{ as }x\to \infty and nA{θn}=\sum_{n\in A} \{ \theta n\}=\infty for every θ(0,1)\theta\in (0,1), where {x}\{x\} is the distance of xx from the nearest integer. Then every sufficiently large integer is the sum of distinct elements of AA.

Erdős Problem 742

Murty-Simon Conjecture*

Let GG be a graph on nn vertices with diameter 22 such that deleting any edge increases the diameter. Is it true that GG has at most n2/4\lfloor n^2 / 4 \rfloor edges? Equality is conjectured to hold for the complete balanced bipartite graph Kn/2,n/2K_{\lceil n/2 \rceil, \lfloor n/2 \rfloor}.

The conjecture is resolved up to a finite check: Fan [Fa87] verified it for n24n \leq 24 and n=26n = 26, and Füredi [Fü92] proved it for all sufficiently large nn.
