1. Definitions, formulation of problems and conjectures. We use the following notations: Z denotes the set of all integers, N denotes the set of positive integers, and P = {p 1 , p 2 ,. . .} = {2, 3, 5,. . .} denotes the set of all primes. We set (1.1) Q k = k i=1 p i. For two numbers u, v ∈ N we write (u, v) = 1 if u and v are coprimes. We are particularly interested in the sets (1.2) N s = {u ∈ N : (u, Q s−1) = 1} and (1.3) N s (n) = N s ∩ [1, n], (n, k, s) as the largest integer r for which an (1.4) A n ⊂ N s (n), |A n | = r , exists with no k + 1 numbers in A n being coprimes. Certainly the set does not have k + 1 coprimes. The case s = 1, in which we have N 1 (n) = [1, n], is of particular interest. Conjecture 1. It seems that this conjecture of Erd˝ os appeared for the first time in print in his paper [6] of 1962.
