Erdős Problem #1194 — Growth forced by unique difference representations

About 46 years old · traced to

Let A={a1<a2<⋯ }A=\{a_1<a_2<\cdots\} be such that every positive integer nn has a unique representation n=ai−ajn=a_i-a_j with ai,aj∈Aa_i,a_j\in A. How slowly can the numerator ai=ai(n)a_i=a_i^{(n)} grow relative to nn?
