Let A ⊆ ℕ be an infinite set such that the triple sums a + b + c are all distinct for
a, b, c in A (aside from the trivial coincidences). Is it true that
liminf n → ∞ |A ∩ {1, …, N}| / N^(1/3) = 0?
Erdős proved the following pairwise version.
Let A ⊆ ℕ be an infinite set such that the pairwise sums a + b are all distinct for a, b
in A (aside from the trivial coincidences).
Is it true that liminf n → ∞ |A ∩ {1, …, N}| / N^(1/2) = 0?
