Thanks!
Looks great mathematically, just a nit about removing docstrings.
| Let $\delta > 0$. If $n$ is sufficiently large and $G$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with no | ||
| $K_{2,2,2}$ (the octahedron) and at least $\delta n^2$ edges, must $G$ contain an independent | ||
| set of size $\gg_\delta n$? | ||
|
|
||
| This is a problem of Erdős, Hajnal, Sós, and Szemerédi [EHSS83]. It is **open**. They could | ||
| prove the statement for $\delta > 1/8$; the difficulty is to push the edge-density threshold | ||
| all the way down to an arbitrary $\delta > 0$. | ||
|
|
||
| Here $K_{2,2,2}$ is the complete tripartite graph with all parts of size $2$, i.e. the | ||
| octahedron, encoded as `completeMultipartiteGraph (fun _ : Fin 3 => Fin 2)`. "Contains no | ||
| $K_{2,2,2}$" is expressed via `SimpleGraph.Free`: $G$ contains no copy of the octahedron. |

Done in 9ce4159 — the module header is now just the title + references, with the statement (including the octahedron encoding note) moved into the erdos_579 docstring.
| Let $\delta > 0$. If $n$ is sufficiently large and $G$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with no | ||
| $K_5$ and at least $\delta n^2$ edges, must $G$ contain a set of $\gg_\delta n$ vertices | ||
| spanning no triangle? | ||
|
|
||
| Equivalently, writing $\mathrm{RT}_3(n, K_5, m)$ for the maximum number of edges of a | ||
| $K_5$-free graph on $n$ vertices in which every triangle-free vertex set has fewer than $m$ | ||
| vertices (the *triangle Ramsey–Turán number*), is | ||
| $$\delta_3(5) = \lim_{\epsilon \to 0} \lim_{n \to \infty} | ||
| \frac{\mathrm{RT}_3(n, K_5, \epsilon n)}{n^2} = 0?$$ | ||
|
|
||
| This is a problem of Erdős, Hajnal, Simonovits, Sós, and Szemerédi [EHSSS94], who proved the | ||
| upper bound $\delta_3(5) \leq 1/12$ and the analogous statement $\delta_3(4) = 0$. They | ||
| further observed $\delta_3(7) \geq 1/4$, using a construction of Erdős and Rogers [ErRo62]. | ||
|
|
||
| The answer is **no**: the statement is false. Balogh and Lenz [BaLe13] disproved it by showing | ||
| $\delta_3(5) > 0$, and the exact value $\delta_3(5) = 1/12$ was determined by the matching | ||
| lower-bound construction of Liu, Reiher, Sharifzadeh, and Staden [LRSS21]. |

let's not repeat the docstrings

Done — slimmed both module headers to just the title and the *References:* block, and moved the full verbatim problem statement into the erdos_533 / erdos_579 theorem docstrings, so the text now appears only once (per ErdosProblems/README.md). Pushed in 9ce4159.

@Smetalo Thanks for checking! No — #533 and #579 are different problems from #775 and #806, so this PR doesn't touch them:
This PR only adds #533 ( |
fixes #775
