Let $F(N)$ be the size of the largest Sidon subset of $\{1,\ldots,N\}$. Is it true that for every $k\geq 1$ we have\[F(N+k)\leq F(N)+1\]for all...

Problem Statement

Let $F(N)$ be the size of the largest Sidon subset of $\{1,\ldots,N\}$. Is it true that for every $k\geq 1$ we have\[F(N+k)\leq F(N)+1\]for all sufficiently large $N$?
Categories: Additive Combinatorics Sidon Sets

Progress

This may even hold with $k\approx \epsilon N^{1/2}$.
