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.

Retained formal statement2 of 2

A translate-uniform linear scale suffices: there is a sufficient window length Y with Y ε n ≤ C(ε) · n. This is an upper bound on the optimal scale, not the exact threshold asked for in erdos_450.

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