A community database for the problems on the erdosproblems.com site. We are particularly seeking community contributions regarding the integer sequences associated with these problems, and linking them to the OEIS.
The table below is auto-generated from the YAML file data/problems.yaml, which is the "ground truth" for this data as far as this repository is concerned.
- To propose changes, open a PR editing data/problems.yaml.
- See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines and field definitions.
For further discussion of this project, see this blog post (from Sep 1, 2025).
There are 1080 problems in total, of which
- 98 are attached to a monetary prize.
- 254 have been proved.
- 2 of these proofs have been formalized in Lean.
- 88 have been disproved.
- 1 of these disproofs have been formalized in Lean.
- 43 have been otherwise solved.
- 4 appear to be open, but cannot be proven from the axioms of ZFC. (not provable)
- 0 appear to be open, but cannot be disproven from the axioms of ZFC. (not disprovable)
- 0 are independent of the ZFC axioms of mathematics. (independent)
- 6 appear to be open, but have been reduced to a finite computation. (decidable)
- 39 appear to be open, but can be disproven by a finite computation if false. (falsifiable)
- 8 appear to be open, but can be proven by a finite computation if true. (verifiable)
