Erdős problem 987

Clunie [Cl67] proved that there exists an infinite sequence {zν}\{z_\nu\} on the unit circle with AννA_\nu \le \nu for all ν1\nu \ge 1. Translating zν=e(xν)z_\nu = e(x_\nu), the natural domain of xνx_\nu is the half-open unit interval Ico01\mathrm{Ico}\,0\,1, matching the original [Er64b]/[Cl67] statement (any unit complex number is allowed, including z=1z = 1, i.e. x=0x = 0).

Question 2 (parts.ii): Is it possible for Ak=o(k)A_k = o(k)? Yes — there exists a sequence (xn)(0,1)(x_n) \in (0, 1) and a bound b(k)=o(k)b(k) = o(k) with AxkbkA x k \le b k eventually. A corollary of sqrt_log_upper_bound (which gives a klogk\sqrt{k \log k} bound) plus the asymptotic klogk=o(k)\sqrt{k \log k} = o(k).

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