Claim. The formal-conjectures statement file for
Problem 349 defines IsGoodPair t α
as the additive completeness of the set of values ,
(the range of the sequence, so a value occurring at several indices is
available once), and carries six partial results tagged research solved,
each with a formal_proof attribute pointing to a proof in the fork
cepadugato/formal-conjectures (the formalization links, pinned to the
commits the attributes name or to the proof branch's head of 2026-06-10): for
and the pair is not good; for and the
pair is not good; is good, since every natural number is a sum of
distinct powers of two; is good for every ; for integers
and any integer the pair is not good, every subset sum being
a multiple of ; and, assembling these, for integers the pair
is good if and only if . The record link is the statement
file at its last change (2026-09-18), which carries the attributes.
Covers. The formal statements are the site's wording, with values counted
once and the index from , not the corrected Statement of
Problem 349, which counts each term
, , at most once even when values repeat.
Every sum of distinct values is a sum of distinct terms, and the pair
with the index from is the Statement's pair
, so the completeness of , , gives the
completeness of the Statement's pairs with . On those pairs
completeness is proved, so the claim's value is proved. The non-completeness
results do not carry over, since the Statement allows more sums: at
the Statement's sequence is complete for , and its only
complete positive integer pair is . Those results answer the site's
wording, not the corrected statement; for and the
Statement's answer is Proposition 1 of van Doorn's paper
(van Doorn's claim page).
The proofs are elementary and settle nothing in .
Claimant and postings. The proofs were contributed to the catalog under
the GitHub account cepadugato in two pull requests, #4225 (opened
2026-06-10, merged 2026-06-16, the result) and #4233 (opened
2026-06-11, merged 2026-06-21, the other five), whose descriptions name no
human author and end with the footer that they were generated with Claude
Code, the contributor's own disclosure. The first description reports a build
under Lean v4.27.0 with the axioms propext, Classical.choice and
Quot.sound only. The proofs live in the fork rather than the catalog because
they exceed the catalog's proof-length guideline, so the catalog file carries
statements with sorry and the formal_proof pointers. The page is dated by
the first pull request.
Standing. Claimed: the catalog's maintainers merged the statements, which
is a review of the statements rather than an acceptance of the problem, and
the site's page does not mention the results. This corpus has not built or
audited the fork's proofs, so no formalized evidence is listed and the
links are formalizations of the claimant's own result, not a warrant.
Depends on. Nothing in this wiki.
