Throughout this article c0, c1, c2, … will denote effectively computable positive absolute constants. Denote the cardinality of a set X by |X|. Let N be a positive integer and let A and B be non-empty subsets of {1, …,N}. Put

In [3], Balog and Sá;rközy proved that if N > c0 and

(1)

then there exist a0 and b0 with a0A0 and b0B0 and a prime number p such that

and

(2)

If follows from this result that if |A| ≫ N and |B| ≫ N then there exist a in A and b in B and a prime p such that p2|(a + b) with
