Erdős problem 450

How large must y(ε,n)y(\varepsilon, n) be so that every interval (x,x+y)(x, x+y) contains at most εy\varepsilon y integers having a divisor in (n,2n)(n, 2n)? The candidate proof gives the sharp fixed-ε\varepsilon order y=Θε(n)y = \Theta_\varepsilon(n), uniformly in the translate.

How large must y=y(ϵ,n)y=y(\epsilon,n) be such that the number of integers in (x,x+y)(x,x+y) with a divisor in (n,2n)(n,2n) is at most ϵy\epsilon y?

A linear scale is known to suffice (see erdos_450.linear_scale_suffices). Whether the optimal scale is *sublinear* — a sufficient Y with Y ε n = o(n) — is open.
