Title: Nine little known problems in combinatorial number theory. (In NO)
Source: Normat 1980, 155-164 (1980).
Review: In this paper the author discusses various problems in combinatorial number theory. We mention some examples. In \S1 the following is discussed: Is there a partition of the naturals into k subsets for some k such that the sum of two distinct elements from the same subset is never a square. The next paragraphs discuss problems related to sequences of natural numbers, density questions, and functions related to these sequences. The last paragraph is devoted to primes, espectially the behaviour of pi+1-pi, pi the i-th prime, and related functions is discussed.
