Erdős problem 856

Let k3k\geq 3 and fk(N)f_k(N) be the maximum of nA1n\sum_{n\in A}\frac{1}{n} over all A{1,,N}A\subseteq\{1,\ldots,N\} containing no kk subsets with the same pairwise least common multiple. Estimate fk(N)f_k(N). The claimed answer: fk(N)=(logN)γk+o(1)f_k(N)=(\log N)^{\gamma_k+o(1)}, where γk\gamma_k is a weighted generalization of the Tang-Zhang sunflower capacity.

Let $k\geq 3$ and $f_k(N)$ be the maximum of $\sum_{n\in A}\frac{1}{n}$ over all $A\subseteq\{1,\ldots,N\}$ containing no $k$ subsets with the same pairwise least common multiple. Estimate $f_k(N)$. The claimed answer: $f_k(N)=(\log N)^{\gamma_k+o(1)}$, where $\gamma_k$ is a weighted generalization of the Tang-Zhang sunflower capacity.
