#50Let ff be the asymptotic distribution function of φ(n)/n\varphi(n)/n, so that for each c∈[0,1]c \in [0,1], f(c)f(c) is the natural density of {n:φ(n)<cn}\{n : \varphi(n) < cn\}. Is it true that there is no xx such that the derivative f′(x)f'(x) exists and is positive?Source says openFormalized
#51Is there an infinite set A⊂NA \subset \mathbb{N} such that for every a∈Aa \in A, there is an integer n such that ϕ(n)=a\phi(n)=a, and yet if nan_a is the smallest such integer, then naa→∞\frac{n_a}{a} → \infty as a→∞a → ∞?Source says openFormalized

#56Suppose A⊆{1,…,N}A \subseteq \{1,\dots,N\} is such that there are no k+1k+1 elements of AA which are relatively prime. An example is the set of all multiples of the first kk primes. Is this the largest such set? To avoid trivial counterexamples, we must insist that NN be at least the kkth prime.Source says disproved (Lean)Formalized

#89Erdős [Er46] asked whether every set of nn distinct points in R2\mathbb{R}^2 determines ≫nlog⁡n\gg \frac{n}{\sqrt{\log n}} many distinct distances.Source says openFormalized
#90Does every set of nn distinct points in R2\mathbb{R}^2 contain at most n1+O(1log⁡log⁡n)n^{1+O(\frac{1}{\log\log n})} many pairs which are distance 11 apart?Source says disproved (Lean)Formalized
#91Suppose A⊂R2A\subset \mathbb{R}^2 has ∣A∣=n\lvert A\rvert=n and minimises the number of distinct distances between points in AA. Prove that for large nn there are at least two (and probably many) such AA which are non-similar.Source says openFormalized
#92A sanity check to ensure the set of possible f(n) values is bounded above. A trivial bound is n, since the points equidistant from any x form a subset of the other n - 1 points. This ensures sSup is well-defined.Source says disprovedFormalized
#93If nn distinct points in R2\mathbb{R}^2 form a convex polygon then they determine at least ⌊n2⌋\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\rfloor distinct distances.Source says proved (Lean)Formalized
#94Suppose nn points in R2\mathbb{R}^2 determine a convex polygon and the set of distances between them is {u1,…,ut}\{u_1,\ldots,u_t\}. Suppose uiu_i appears as the distance between f(ui)f(u_i) many pairs of points. Then ∑if(ui)2≪n3.\sum_i f(u_i)^2 \ll n^3.Source says proved (Lean)FormalizedResult here accepted

#96This lemma confirms that the set of possible unit-distance counts is bounded above, which ensures that taking the supremum (sSup) is a well-defined operation. The trivial upper bound is the total number of pairs of points, (n2)\binom{n}{2}.Source says openFormalized
