    Erdős Problem #345: declared status 'open'. Formalized: no. Let ANA\subseteq \mathbb{N} be a complete sequence, and define the threshold of completeness T(A)T(A) to be the least integer mm such that all nmn\geq m are inP(A)={nBn:BA finite }P(A) = \left\{\sum_{n\in B}n : B\subseteq A\textrm{ finite }\right\}(the existence of T(A)T(A) is guaranteed by completeness). Is it true that there are infinitely many kk such that T(nk)>T(nk+1)T(n^k)>T(n^{k+1})? Current best: It is known thatT(n)=1,T(n2)=128,T(n3)=12758,T(n)=1, T(n^2)=128, T(n^3)=12758,T(n4)=5134240, and T(n5)=67898771.T(n^4)=5134240,\textrm{ and }T(n^5)=67898771.Erd\H{o}s and Graham remark that a good candidate for the nn in the question are k=2tk=2^t for large tt, perhaps even t=3t=3, because of the highly restricted values of n2tn^{2^t} modulo 2t+12^{t+1}. Prize: no. OEIS: A001661. Tags: complete sequences, number theory.
