Erdős–Sárközy–Stewart quadratic prime-factor conjecture for subset sums

For a finite set AA\ne\textstyle\varnothing of positive integers, let Σ(A)\Sigma^*(A) denote the set of nonempty subset sums, and let P(A)P(A) be the greatest prime factor of aAa\prod_{a\in A}a. Erdős–Sárközy–Stewart's quadratic conjecture. There is an absolute constant c>0c>0 such that

P(Σ(A))>cA2.P(\Sigma^*(A))>c|A|^2.

This is a quantitative strengthening of the preceding prime-factor growth conjecture and is presented by the source as the second conjecture of Erdős, Sárközy, and Stewart.
