Erdős Problem #1147 — Quadratic recurrence sets as additive bases

About 27 years old · traced to

Let α>0\alpha>0 be irrational and set

Aα={n≥1:∥αn2∥<1/log⁡n},A_\alpha=\left\{n\geq1:\|\alpha n^2\|<1/\log n\right\},

where ∥x∥\|x\| is the distance from xx to the nearest integer. Must AαA_\alpha be an additive basis of order 22?
