Abstract
We resolve Erdos Problem 731 under the explicit dyadic-regularity formalization of "reasonable." Let be the least positive integer not dividing . On dyadic intervals , put and . Uniformly for , we prove and . Consequently . We also prove dyadic nonconcentration: no scalar center on a large dyadic block, and hence no dyadically regular deterministic scale , can satisfy in natural density. The proof retains the exact least-common-multiple divisibility condition and replaces heuristic cross-base independence by a moving-base restricted-digit variance theorem.
