Abstract A set of integers is primitive if it does not contain an element dividing another. Let f(n) denote the number of maximum-size primitive subsets of {1,…,2n}. We prove that the limit α = lim n→∞ f(n)1/n exists. Furthermore, we present an algorithm approximating α with (1 + ε) multiplicative error in N(ε) steps, showing in particular that α ≈ 1.318. Our algorithm can be adapted to estimate the number of all primitive sets in {1,…,n} as well. We address another related problem of Cameron and Erdős. They showed that the number of sets containing pairwise coprime integers in {1,…n} is between ${2^{\pi (n)}} \cdot {e^{(1/2 + o(1))\sqrt n }}$ and ${2^{\pi (n)}} \cdot {e^{(2 + o(1))\sqrt n }}$ . We show that neither of these bounds is tight: there are in fact ${2^{\pi (n)}} \cdot {e^{(1 + o(1))\sqrt n }}$ such sets.

AbstractErdős conjectured that for any set A ⊆ ℕ with positive lower asymptotic density, there are infinite sets B;C ⊆ ℕ such that B + C ⊆ A. We verify Erdős’ conjecture in the case where A has Banach density exceeding ½ . As a consequence, we prove that, for A ⊆ ℕ with positive Banach density (amuch weaker assumption than positive lower density), we can find infinite B;C ⊆ ℕ such that B+C is contained in the union of A and a translate of A. Both of the aforementioned results are generalized to arbitrary countable amenable groups. We also provide a positive solution to Erdős’ conjecture for subsets of the natural numbers that are pseudorandom.

AbstractIn an attempt to resolve a folklore conjecture of Erdös regarding the non-vanishing at s = 1 of the L-series attached to a periodic arithmetical function with period q and values in {−1, 1}, Livingston conjectured the -linear independence of logarithms of certain algebraic numbers. In this paper, we disprove Livingston’s conjecture for composite q ≥ 4, highlighting that a newapproach is required to settle Erdös conjecture. We also prove that the conjecture is true for prime q ≥ 3, and indicate that more ingredients will be needed to settle Erdös conjecture for prime q.

We connect several seemingly unrelated conjectures of Ankeny, Artin, Chowla and Mordell to a conjecture of Erdös on consecutive squarefull numbers. We then study the Erdös conjecture and relate it to the abc conjecture. We also derive by elementary methods several unconditional results pertaining to the Erdös conjecture.
