No claim settles this problem.
Open. The site labels the problem OPEN (page last edited 1 April
2026), its remarks recording the bounds of [APSSV26] and of Tang and ChatGPT
and crediting no solution. The standing derives from the claim pages, three
pending partial claims, none of which determines the order of :
Tang 2026, a
research note with the bound and
the thread's exponent ;
Alexeev, Putterman, Sawhney, Sellke and Valiant 2026,
an arXiv preprint with for all large
and along a sequence; and
Bae 2026, an
arXiv preprint with a Lean 4 proof that
for infinitely many
, which the site's curator relabeled partial because the order of
stays undetermined. So the problem is open with no settling or pending full
claim. Known Results below record the density-one results, which have no
claim pages.
