Erdős Problem 317 #
Reference: erdosproblems.com/317
Is there some constant $c>0$ such that for every $n\geq 1$ there exists some $\delta_k\in \{-1,0,1\}$ for $1\leq k\leq n$ with [0< \left\lvert \sum_{1\leq k\leq n}\frac{\delta_k}{k}\right\rvert < \frac{c}{2^n}?]
Is it true that for sufficiently large $n$, for any $\delta_k\in \{-1,0,1\}$, [\left\lvert \sum_{1\leq k\leq n}\frac{\delta_k}{k}\right\rvert > \frac{1}{[1,\ldots,n]}] whenever the left-hand side is not zero?
Inequality in erdos_317.variants.claim2 is obvious, the problem is strict inequality.
erdos_317.variants.claim2 fails for small $n$, for example
[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{1}{12}.]
