Zarankiewicz problem for K_{3,3}: What is the maximum number of edges in a graph on n vertices with no K_{3,3} subgraph? Kővári–Sós–Turán gives O(n^{3/2}). The exact constant in the asymptotic n^{3/2}/2 is conjectured but not proved; polarity graphs from projective planes achieve n^{3/2}/2 + O(n).

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
