Chung–Goldwasser conjecture on maximal measurable 3-sum-free subsets of the unit interval
Chung–Goldwasser conjecture on maximal measurable 3-sum-free subsets of the unit interval
Let be a measurable 3-sum-free subset of , meaning that contains no solution to . Let denote its Lebesgue measure. The sets are the seven sets obtained from
by adjoining one endpoint of each of the three intervals, except the endpoints , , and .
Chung–Goldwasser conjecture. Every measurable 3-sum-free subset of satisfies
Moreover, if and is maximal with respect to inclusion among the 3-sum-free subsets of , then .
The conjecture identifies both the optimal Lebesgue measure and all inclusion-maximal extremal sets for the continuous 3-sum-free problem. The cases and were known, while the case was the remaining open case in the cited discussion.
