Erdős problem 865

Start work

There exists a constant C>0C>0 such that, for all large NN, if A⊆{1,…,N}A\subseteq \{1,\ldots,N\} has size at least 58N+C\frac{5}{8}N+C then there are distinct a,b,c∈Aa,b,c\in A such that a+b,a+c,b+c∈Aa+b,a+c,b+c\in A.

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