On the sum of distinct primes or squares of primes
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 350 (2012) no. 13-14, pp. 647-649.

In 1965 Erdős introduced f2(s): f2(s) is the smallest integer such that every l>f2(s) is the sum of s distinct primes or squares of primes where a prime and its square are not both used. We prove that for all sufficiently large s, f2(s)p2+p3++ps+1+3106, and the set of s with the equality has the density 1.

En 1965 Paul Erdős a introduit la valeur f2(s) comme le plus petit entier tel que tout entier l>f2(s) est la somme de s premiers ou carrés de premiers distincts, où un nombre premier et son carré ne sont simultanément utilisés. Nous démontrons que pour tout s suffisamment grand on a f2(s)p2+p3++ps+1+3106 et que lʼensemble des s réalisant lʼégalité est de densité 1.
