Abstract
Let PN(resp. P*N) be the family of the primitive subsets of f{1, 2, ... N } (resp. the squarefree integers not exceeding N). We prove the following conjecture (even in a more general form) of Pomerance and Sárközy ... In a new direction we obtain surprisingly sharp estimates for ... As a common generalization we present conjectures about ...
