Erdős problem 302

Let f(N)f(N) be the size of the largest A{1,,N}A\subseteq \{1,\ldots,N\} such that there are no solutions to 1a=1b+1c\frac{1}{a}= \frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c} with distinct a,b,cAa,b,c\in A? Estimate f(N)f(N).

One can take either AA to be all odd integers in [1,N][1,N] or all integers in [N/2,N][N/2,N] to show f(N)(1/2+o(1))Nf(N)\geq (1/2+o(1))N.
