Erdős problem 264

Kovač and Tao [KoTa24] generally proved that any strictly increasing sequence of positive integers ana_n such that 1an\sum \frac{1}{a_n} converges and lim infn(an2k>n1ak2)>0 \liminf_{n \to \infty} (a_n^2 \sum_{k > n} \frac{1}{a_k^2}) > 0 is not an irrationality sequence.

On the other hand, Kovač and Tao [KoTa24] do prove that for any function FF with limnF(n+1)F(n)=\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{F(n + 1)}{F(n)} = \infty there exists such an irrationality sequence with anF(n)a_n \sim F(n).
