    Summary: If \(k\) is a positive real number, we say that a set \(S\) of real numbers is \(k\)-sum-free if there do not exist \(x\), \(y\), \(z\) in \(S\) such that \(x+ y= kz\). For \(k\) greater than or equal to 4 we find the essentially unique measurable \(k\)-sum-free subset of \((0, 1]\) of maximum size.
