2Authored explanation
OPEN as of 2026-07-31. The maintained Erdős Problems database at commit 8138974387d9030542daabe67faaa33eff9356f8 lists Problem 30 as open. The unresolved remainder is the full displayed statement.
A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Give a rigorous proof or counterexample that completely resolves this statement: Erdős Problem 30: Let $h(N)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a Sidon set contained in $\{1, 2, \dots, N\}$. A set $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is called a Sidon set if all pairwise sums $a + b$ with $a \leq b$ and $a, b \in A$ are distinct. Determine whether, for every $\varepsilon > 0$, the asymptotic bound \[h(N) - \sqrt{N} = O\bigl(N^{\varepsilon}\bigr)\] holds as $N \to \infty$. Equivalently, determine whether $h(N) = \sqrt{N} + O_{\varepsilon}(N^{\varepsilon})$ for all $\varepsilon > 0$.
