Then Oc is a GC-set <strong>and</strong> E is not a GB-set. T/,(E) is asymptotic to a<br />

Thus <strong>the</strong>re is a K > 0 such that for n large,<br />

Vn(E)/Vm(Oc) < K fi (4n2/log log j)l14,<br />

j=3<br />

which implies (b).<br />

To prove (a) it suffices to show that<br />

as E 1 0. Let S = S({a,)).<br />

Given E > 0, let<br />

N(S, c) = n = n((uj}, 6) + g rt * .<br />

Because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> slow growth <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> logarithms, this implies that, for c<br />

small enough,<br />

l/98 < (log n)2 log log n < l/8,<br />

log It < l/8, log log ?z < 2 log (l/E),<br />

H(S, l ) = log ?z 2 1/5q1og (l/E))““.<br />

To estimate iV(E, E) from above we take <strong>the</strong> smallest integer 7t such<br />

that<br />

(n log .)-l12 < 42, i.e., n log n > 4/c2.<br />

For E small enough this implies n log n < 5/e2. Now<br />

pi = ( j log j)-l12, j = 2 ,..., n, j!15 = 0, j > n.
