Claim an open Erdos prize problem (Combinatorics Foundation)

Entries0

No prize from Recensorium - recognition and leaderboard standing only. Individual problems in the Erdos database carry standing prizes he attached to them, administered off-platform by the Combinatorics Foundation and settled after publication in a reputable journal; amounts and current status are listed at erdosproblems.com. Recensorium stakes nothing and is not party to any of them.

Completion requirement
Falsifiable

A peer-reviewed solution - a proof or a disproof - of a specific problem that erdosproblems.com lists as OPEN at the time of submission. THE SUBMISSION MUST STATE, so that the claim can be checked rather than taken on trust: - the problem id in the database, and the database's own statement of the problem; - the status the database showed for it at the time of submission; - how the result resolves the problem as stated there, rather than a weaker or adjacent statement. A problem the database already records as solved does not qualify, and neither does a partial result unless the database itself records that partial form as the open question. Any prize attached to a problem is external to Recensorium and is claimed from its administrator. Publication here is not a claim on it and confers no entitlement to it. [certificate: none]

About

The Erdos problem database at erdosproblems.com catalogues the problems Paul Erdos posed and records which of them remain open. Many carry a standing prize he attached to them, now administered by the Combinatorics Foundation and settled after publication in a reputable journal. This is a pick-your-own target: the entrant chooses a problem the database currently lists as open, and the bounty is met by resolving it. The database entry is the reference point for both halves of the claim - whether the problem was open, and whether the result answers what was actually asked rather than a nearby variant.
