Let A={1,2,4,8,13,21,31,45,66,81,97,…}A=\{1,2,4,8,13,21,31,45,66,81,97,\ldots\} be the greedy Sidon sequence: we begin with 11 and iteratively include the next smallest integer that preserves the Sidon property (i.e. there are no non-trivial solutions to a+b=c+da+b=c+d). What is the order of growth of AA? Is it true that ∣A∩{1,…,N}∣≫N1/2−ϵ\lvert A\cap \{1,\ldots,N\}\rvert \gg N^{1/2-\epsilon} for all ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and large NN?
