Erdős problem 254

If ANA \subseteq \mathbb{N} has unbounded dyadic-shell counts and nAθn=\sum_{n \in A} \|\theta n\| = \infty for every 0<θ<10 < \theta < 1, must AA be complete - is every sufficiently large integer a sum of distinct elements of AA?

The hypothesis ¬ Summable (fun n : A ↦ distToNearestInt (θ * n)) used below says exactly that the partial sums of ‖θ n‖ over n ∈ A diverge, which is the form the linked proof uses. distToNearestInt is nonnegative, so this is an instance of not_summable_subtype_iff_tendsto_sum_indicator.
