Claim. is irrational, so the instance of
Problem 267 has answer yes. The proof
is the theorem erdos_267.variants.specialization_pow_two in a fork of the
formal-conjectures repository, at the commit of 24 April 2026 linked first
above, stated for Mathlib's Nat.fib and proved without sorry inside the
statement file. The formal-conjectures statement file for the problem (the
record link) tags the variant research solved, cites that proof in its
formal_proof attribute and says that the formal proof was provided by
AlphaProof; the attribute entered the file on 24 April 2026. The argument is
AlphaProof's own tail-and-denominator estimate, not the telescoping identity of
Good's evaluation.
Covers. The instance : the answer is yes. Not covered: every other index sequence. The instance lies inside Badea's 1993 condition (the Badea page), and Good's 1974 evaluation of the sum as (the Good page) settled it first.
Depends on. No page of this wiki.
Acceptance. None recorded. The site labels the problem OPEN and its
commentary does not mention the proof; this corpus has not built the proof or
audited its statement, so the links are not formalized evidence. The proof is
attributed to AlphaProof, as the statement file names it.
