Summary

  • Adds an Erdős Problem 372 statement file for the largest-prime-factor chain problem.
  • Encodes Balog’s proved statement that there are infinitely many n such that P(n) > P(n+1) > P(n+2).
  • Leaves the proof as sorry; no proof or external certificate is imported.

Source

Validation

  • lake build 'FormalConjectures.ErdosProblems.«372»'

Notes

  • Statement-only formalization.
  • Drafted with AI assistance and checked locally against the source page and targeted Lake build.
