Counting conjecture for sum-free subsets

Let L\mathcal{L} denote the equation x+y=zx+y=z. A subset of [n][n] is (L,2)(\mathcal{L},2)-free if it admits a 2-colouring with no monochromatic solution to L\mathcal{L}. Counting conjecture. There are

Θ(24n/5)\Theta\left(2^{4n/5}\right)

(L,2)(\mathcal{L},2)-free subsets of [n][n]. The preceding result gives only 24n/5+o(n)2^{4n/5+o(n)} such subsets; the conjecture asks that the error in the exponent be replaced by a constant-factor asymptotic estimate.
