Erdős–Sárközy–Szemerédi conjecture on primitive sets

For x1x\ge 1, let [x,)[x,\infty) denote the integers at least xx, and let f(A)=aA1/(aloga)f(A)=\sum_{a\in A}1/(a\log a) for a primitive set AA. Erdős–Sárközy–Szemerédi conjecture.

limxsupA[x,)A primitivef(A)1.\lim_{x\to\infty}\sup_{\substack{A\subset[x,\infty)\\ A\ \text{primitive}}}f(A)\le 1.

This question was posed by Erdős, Sárközy, and Szemerédi in 1968. The source describes it as an open question related to the primitive set conjecture; no resolution is supplied.
