The growth rate #

D_3(n) is the largest size of a square-difference-free set of polynomials of degree below n. It is nondecreasing, at most 3^n, and at least 810^e at n = 8e by the first family. Writing L = log 810 / log 3, the three facts give

log D_3(n) / (n log 3) ≥ (1/8 - 1/n) · L for n ≥ 8,

so the lower limit of the left side is at least L/8. Finally 16/21 ≤ L/8 is the natural-number comparison 3^128 ≤ 810^21, and 16/21 = 0.76190… is the stated bound.

The finite set polynomialsBelow n is exactly the set of polynomials of degree below n.

There are at most 3^n polynomials of degree below n.

The polynomials of degree below n sit inside those of degree below n' for n ≤ n'.

Every square-difference-free set of polynomials of degree below n is counted by D_3(n).

D_3(n) ≤ 3^n, the trivial upper bound.

D_3(n) ≥ 1, witnessed by the one-element set {0}.

The first family gives D_3(8e) ≥ 810^e.

    The lift exponent is positive.

    The elementary integer comparison 3^128 ≤ 810^21 bounds the exponent.

    Counting all coefficient vectors bounds the normalized logarithm by one.

    Rounding the degree down to a multiple of eight costs at most seven degrees.

    Every smaller exponent eventually bounds the normalized logarithm from below.

    The growth rate. The lift exponent, and hence 16/21, bounds the normalized liminf.
