The independence and clique cover numbers of the squarefree graph

Abstract

We determine the largest subset A⊂eq \1,…c,n\ such that for all a,b∈ A, the product ab is not squarefree. Specifically, the maximum size is achieved by the complement of the odd squarefree numbers. This resolves a problem of Paul Erdos and Andr\'as S\'ark\"ozy from 1992.
