Erdős problem 1023

Let F(n)F(n) be the maximal size of a family of subsets of {1,…,n}\{1,\ldots,n\} such that no set in this family is the union of other members of the family. Is it true that there is a constant c>0c>0 such that F(n)∼c2nn1/2?F(n)\sim c \frac{2^n}{n^{1/2}}?

Erdős and Kleitman proved in unpublished work that F(n)≍2nn1/2.F(n)\asymp \frac{2^n}{n^{1/2}}. ([Er71] has an exponent of 3/23/2, but this is presumably a typo.)
