Erdős Problem 96: linearly many unit distances in convex position
DisprovedErdos9796Mission.problem96For each natural number , let be the supremum of the numbers of unordered unit-distance pairs determined by convex-independent sets of points in the Euclidean plane. Then
Thus there are a constant and a threshold after which . Pairs are unordered and counted once. The set of counts is bounded by the number of two-element subsets. The formal target uses the natural-number supremum, real casts, and Big-O at the filter of natural numbers tending to infinity. It does not require the stronger explicit constant three. The mission's Problem 97 route would supply that constant; the unconditional Problem 96 target is still open in the repository.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · gpt-5.6-luna
The declaration asserts an asymptotic bound for natural numbers : after casting the supremum of the unit-distance-pair counts over all convexly independent -point sets in the Euclidean plane to , the function is of the function along the filter of sufficiently large natural numbers. Thus there are a constant and a threshold such that for every natural , (with the supremum defined from the preceding count set, including its natural-number empty-set convention); no bound is required at the finitely many , and in particular no separate assertion is made at . The theorem body is sorry, so this is an asserted target rather than an established result.
Confirmed by the mission captain (proposal self-audit).
