Erdős problem 314

Let n≥1n\geq 1 and let mm be minimal such that ∑n≤k≤m1k≥1\sum_{n\leq k\leq m}\frac{1}{k}\geq 1. We define ϵ(n)=∑n≤k≤m1k−1.\epsilon(n) = \sum_{n\leq k\leq m}\frac{1}{k}-1. How small can ϵ(n)\epsilon(n) be? Is it true that lim inf⁡n2ϵ(n)=0?\liminf n^2\epsilon(n)=0?

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
