claims/: The 5 claim pages of Problem 934, one per claimant's result; the problem's standing derives from them.


Statement. Let ht(d)h_t(d) be minimal such that every graph GG with ht(d)h_t(d) edges and maximal degree ≤d\leq d contains two edges whose shortest path between them has length ≥t\geq t.

Estimate ht(d)h_t(d).

Formulation. The site's wording as of 2026-09-19, last edited 28 October 2025. The distance between two edges is the length of a shortest path joining an endpoint of one to an endpoint of the other, one less than their distance in the line graph, so ht(d)−1h_t(d)-1 is the largest number of edges of a graph of maximum degree at most dd whose line graph has diameter at most tt (the 2022 paper's reading, p. 1). The statement is a request for estimates and asserts nothing; the page-level status is open as the site's, and nothing is defective in the wording. Two side remarks. The site's h1(d)=d+1h_1(d)=d+1 holds for d≥3d\ge3 and fails at d=2d=2, where K3K_3 has three pairwise intersecting edges and h1(2)=4h_1(2)=4 (the thread's correction, conceded by the site's author on 25 March 2026; the 2022 paper prints the same unqualified sentence). Erdős's 1988 text says "The order of magnitude of hr(n)h_r(n) is easily seen to be nr+1n^{r+1} [sic]" (p. 81), one power above the Θ(dt)\Theta(d^t) of the later normalization (h1∼dh_1\sim d, h2∼54d2h_2\sim\frac54d^2); recorded as printed. The site's two displayed conjectures of 2022 are variants recorded below, not the question.

Status. Open. No estimate of ht(d)h_t(d) up to a factor 1+o(1)1+o(1) for general tt, and no "nice expression" in Erdős's sense, was found in the search whose scope the Current assessment records. Known exactly: h1(d)=d+1h_1(d)=d+1 for d≥3d\ge3; h2(d)=54d2+1h_2(d)=\frac54d^2+1 for even dd and 5d2−2d+14+1\frac{5d^2-2d+1}4+1 for odd dd (Chung, Gyárfás, Tuza and Trotter 1990, refereed; an accepted partial claim on its claim page); h3(3)=23h_3(3)=23 (Cambie, Cames van Batenburg, de Joannis de Verclos and Kang, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 2022, refereed; an accepted partial claim on its claim page). In general ht(d)≤32dt+1h_t(d)\le\frac32d^t+1 for all t≥1t\ge1 and ht(d)≥0.629tdth_t(d)\ge0.629^td^t for all large tt and infinitely many dd (the same paper), with ht(d)≤dt+1h_t(d)\le d^t+1 for graphs without a (2t+1)(2t+1)-cycle. Two preprints of 2026 change the picture at t=3t=3 and for the asymptotics: Kumar, Mohar and Pragada refute the 2022 conjecture h3(d)≤d3−d2+d+2h_3(d)\le d^3-d^2+d+2 at d=4d=4 (h3(4)≥71>54h_3(4)\ge71>54) and prove lim inf⁡h3(d)/d3≥253225\liminf h_3(d)/d^3\ge\frac{253}{225} (a pending partial claim on its claim page), and Korsky claims on the site's proof-claim tab, and Cames van Batenburg and Korsky in a preprint, ht(d)≥(1−o(1))dth_t(d)\ge(1-o(1))d^t as d→∞d\to\infty for every t≥3t\ge3 (the preprint's abstract states it for every t≥2t\ge2), a result first submitted to the tab on 29 July 2026 and recorded as a pending partial claim on its claim page; both are unrefereed and recorded as claimed progress. A thread post and Zenodo manuscript of 17 August 2026 claim the exact value h3(4)=71h_3(4)=71 with a Lean 4 development, a pending partial claim on its claim page. This is a bounded negative finding, not a certificate of openness.

Formalization. None. formal-conjectures has no file ErdosProblems/934.lean at main the site's indicator reads "Formalised statement? No", and the community database (teorth/erdosproblems, data/problems.yaml as of 2026-09-19) lists the problem as open, unformalized and with no formal-proof field as of its last update, dated 31 August 2025. A thread post of 17 August 2026 describes a Lean 4 proof of the single value h3(4)=71h_3(4)=71 in an external repository, recorded on its claim page; it is not a formalization of the problem's statement, and the corpus has not built it.

Current assessment

The question (site formulation of 2026-09-19). The statement above; OPEN; last edited 28 October 2025. The commentary attributes the problem to Erdős and Nešetřil and quotes Erdős's 1988 remark that the problem is interesting only if ht(d)h_t(d) has a nice expression (quoted under The origin below); calls ht(d)≤2dth_t(d)\le2d^t and h1(d)=d+1h_1(d)=d+1 easy; records the t=2t=2 conjecture h2(d)≤54d2+1h_2(d)\le\frac54d^2+1 with equality for even dd, made independently by Erdős and Nešetřil and by Bermond, Bond, Paoli and Peyrat, with the proof credited to Chung, Gyárfás, Tuza and Trotter in [CGTT90] and a pointer to Problem 149; records the 2022 conjectures that h3(d)≤d3−d2+d+2h_3(d)\le d^3-d^2+d+2, with equality exactly when d−1d-1 is a prime power, and that for all t≥3t\ge3, ht(d)≥(1−o(1))dth_t(d)\ge(1-o(1))d^t for infinitely many dd and ht(d)≤(1+o(1))dth_t(d)\le(1+o(1))d^t for all dd, beside the value h3(3)=23h_3(3)=23; and records the same authors' bounds ht(d)≥0.629tdth_t(d)\ge0.629^td^t for infinitely many dd when tt is large and ht(d)≤32dt+1h_t(d)\le\frac32d^t+1 for all t≥1t\ge1. The thread's six comments and the tab's one claim are recorded below; the community database says open, unformalized.

The origin. Erdős's 1988 paper, Section 1, printed p. 81 (the Er88 card's #934 row records the passage), poses the problem in one sentence: "One could perhaps try to determine the smallest integer hr(n)h_r(n) so that every GG of hr(n)h_r(n) edges each vertex of which has degree ≤n\le n contains two edges so that the shortest path joining these edges has length ≥r\ge r." He then calls the order of magnitude easy to see, printing it as nr+1n^{r+1} (the Formulation note above records the slip), says the exact value is unknown, and adds the remark the site quotes: "This problem seems to be interesting only if there is a nice expression for hr(n)h_r(n)." The 1983 survey states the t=2t=2 case in the language of hypergraphs of maximum degree 22 (conjecture_p13, PDF p. 13 of the HAL deposit, left- and right-hand typescript pages): n(2,D,r)n(2,D,r), the largest number of edges of a graph of maximum degree rr and line diameter DD; the graph C5⊗StC_5\otimes S_t with 5t25t^2 edges and line diameter 22, so n(2,2,r)≥54r2n(2,2,r)\ge\frac54r^2 for even rr; and "answering one of our conjectures, it has been shown by Kleitman (1983) that every graph of maximum degree rr and line diameter 22 has at most 54r2\frac54r^2 vertices [edges]. Thus n(2,2,r)≤54r2n(2,2,r)\le\frac54r^2 and if rr is even n(2,2,r)=54r2n(2,2,r)=\frac54r^2", Kleitman's result being a "Private communication of Trotter" in the reference list; for general DD the survey records lim inf⁡rn(2,D,r)r−D≥(12)D−1\liminf_rn(2,D,r)r^{-D}\ge(\frac12)^{D-1} from Benson's and Delorme's bipartite graphs. The three attributions of the t=2t=2 statement in the sources differ in emphasis and are recorded as printed: [CGTT90] (p. 129) solves "the following extremal problem posed by Bermond et al. in [7] and also by Nešetřil and Erdős"; [FGST89] (p. 83) says the k=1k=1 case "was asked earlier by Bermond, Bond and Peyrat" and that f(1,d)=54d2f(1,d)=\frac54d^2 "was shown in [1]", the survey; the survey itself reports Kleitman.

The cases t=1t=1 and t=2t=2. For t=1t=1, two edges at distance at least 11 are disjoint, and for d≥3d\ge3 a graph with d+1d+1 edges and maximum degree at most dd has two disjoint edges while the star K1,dK_{1,d} has not, so h1(d)=d+1h_1(d)=d+1 (the thread's argument of 25 March 2026; [CCJK22], p. 1, "the t=1t=1 case is easy and h1(Δ)=Δ+1h_1(\Delta)=\Delta+1"); for d=2d=2 the graphs are paths and cycles, K3K_3 has three pairwise intersecting edges, and h1(2)=4h_1(2)=4, more generally ht(2)=2t+2h_t(2)=2t+2 (the thread, 25 March 2026; the cycle C2t+1C_{2t+1} has line diameter tt). For t=2t=2, two edges at distance at least 22 are strongly independent, and Theorem 4 of Chung, Gyárfás, Tuza and Trotter (p. 131) states that a connected graph with no induced 2K22K_2 and maximum degree at most D≥2D\ge2 has at most f(D)f(D) edges, with equality only for the blown-up five-cycle C5(D)C_5(D), where f(D)=5D2/4f(D)=5D^2/4 for even DD and (5D2−2D+1)/4(5D^2-2D+1)/4 for odd DD; hence (authored, one line) a graph with f(D)+1f(D)+1 edges and maximum degree at most DD has two strongly independent edges, in one component by the theorem or in two, and C5(D)C_5(D) has none, so h2(D)=f(D)+1h_2(D)=f(D)+1, the site's statement that h2(d)≤54d2+1h_2(d)\le\frac54d^2+1 with equality for even dd, and 5d2−2d+14+1\frac{5d^2-2d+1}4+1 for odd dd. Acceptance evidence: Discrete Math. 81 (1990), refereed, cited from the author's copy of the journal pages; the accepted partial claim is its claim page. This is the "easier problem" of Problem 149.

The case t=3t=3. [[../library/extremal_graph_theory/cambie_2022_maximizing_line_subgraphs_diameter_at_most_t/theorem_2|Theorem 2 of Cambie, Cames van Batenburg, de Joannis de Verclos and Kang]] (p. 2): h3(3)=23h_3(3)=23, "through a brief case analysis", the extremal graph being the Fano plane's incidence graph with one edge subdivided (p. 11). Their [[../library/extremal_graph_theory/cambie_2022_maximizing_line_subgraphs_diameter_at_most_t/conjecture_1|Conjecture 1]] (p. 2): "h3(Δ)≤Δ3−Δ2+Δ+2h_3(\Delta)\le\Delta^3-\Delta^2+\Delta+2, with equality if Δ\Delta is one more than a prime power", from the incidence graphs of projective planes (Δ3−Δ2+Δ\Delta^3-\Delta^2+\Delta edges, line diameter 33) with one subdivided edge; the printed word is "if", not the site's "if and only if" (as arXiv v2 prints it; the thread of 17 August 2026 makes the same point). The preprint [KMP26] refutes it: Lemma 3.1 (p. 9) shows diam(L(O4))≤3\mathrm{diam}(L(O_4))\le3 for the odd graph O4=KG(7,3)O_4=\mathrm{KG}(7,3), which is 44-regular on 3535 vertices with 7070 edges, "By the above Lemma 3.1, it follows that h3(4)≥∣E(O4)∣+1=71>43−42+4+2=54h_3(4)\ge|E(O_4)|+1=71>4^3-4^2+4+2=54. Thus, Conjecture 1.9 is false for Δ=4\Delta=4"; the truncated Witt graph gives h3(15)≥3796>3167h_3(15)\ge3796>3167 (p. 10); and Theorem 1.11 (p. 4), "lim inf⁡Δ→∞h3(Δ)/Δ3≥253225\liminf_{\Delta\to\infty}h_3(\Delta)/\Delta^3\ge\frac{253}{225}. Equivalently, for every 0<ε<28/2250<\varepsilon<28/225, and sufficiently large Δ\Delta, we have h3(Δ)>(1+ε)Δ3h_3(\Delta)>(1+\varepsilon)\Delta^3", refutes both Conjecture 1 for all large Δ\Delta and the upper asymptotic conjecture at t=3t=3, with Problem 1.12 asking whether h3(Δ)≤253225Δ3h_3(\Delta)\le\frac{253}{225}\Delta^3 for all large Δ\Delta. The preprint's "AI statement" (p. 13) reads "We acknowledge the use of AI tools during the ideation phase. We declare that the text is not AI-generated." It is unrefereed (arXiv v1, 2 July 2026; one citing record, [CvBK26]); the lemma for O4O_4 is a half-page argument on 33-subsets of a 77-set, and no review of it is recorded; the preprint's bounds are a pending partial claim on its claim page.

General tt. Theorem 6 (p. 3): ht(Δ)≤32Δt+1h_t(\Delta)\le\frac32\Delta^t+1 for all t≥1t\ge1, through ω(L(G)t)≤32Δt\omega(L(G)^t)\le\frac32\Delta^t (Theorem 8), improving the trivial 2Δt2\Delta^t; Theorem 7 (p. 3): a C2t+1C_{2t+1}-free graph of maximum degree Δ\Delta with more than Δt\Delta^t edges has line graph of diameter greater than tt (printed "at least" [sic], false at t=1,2t=1,2 by the star K1,ΔK_{1,\Delta} and by KΔ,ΔK_{\Delta,\Delta}; for t≥2t\ge2 it follows from Theorem 10, ω(L(G)t)≤∣E(Tt,Δ)∣≤Δt\omega(L(G)^t)\le|E(T_{t,\Delta})|\le\Delta^t), asymptotically sharp for t∈{1,2,3,4,6}t\in\{1,2,3,4,6\} and, in Theorem 10's form, exact for t∈{2,3,4,6}t\in\{2,3,4,6\}, by the incidence graphs of generalized polygons; Proposition 5 (p. 2): ht(Δ)≥0.629tΔth_t(\Delta)\ge0.629^t\Delta^t for t≥t0t\ge t_0 and infinitely many Δ\Delta, from Canale and Gómez's degree--diameter graphs. Acceptance evidence: SIAM J. Discrete Math. 36 (2022), refereed (Crossref); the text cited is the accepted arXiv v2; the accepted partial claim is its claim page. The paper's two asymptotic conjectures, Conjecture 3 (ht(Δ)≥(1−ε)Δth_t(\Delta)\ge(1-\varepsilon)\Delta^t for infinitely many Δ\Delta, the edge analog of Bollobás's degree--diameter conjecture, known for t∈{1,2,3,4,6}t\in\{1,2,3,4,6\}) and Conjecture 4 (ht(Δ)≤(1+ε)Δth_t(\Delta)\le(1+\varepsilon)\Delta^t for t≠2t\ne2 and large Δ\Delta), now stand as follows on the preprint record: Conjecture 4 fails at t=3t=3 ([KMP26], Theorem 1.11, above; "Conjecture 1.10 remains undecided for t≥4t\ge4"), and Conjecture 3 is claimed for every t≥2t\ge2 by [CvBK26], whose abstract states lim⁡d→∞nk(d)/dk=1\lim_{d\to\infty}n_k(d)/d^k=1 for the degree--diameter function (Bollobás's conjecture) and, "for every fixed ℓ≥2\ell\ge2, graphs of maximum degree at most dd and line-graph diameter at most ℓ\ell with (1+o(1))dℓ(1+o(1))d^\ell edges". Neither claim is refereed or, as far as the search found, independently reviewed. The 1983 survey's lim inf⁡n(2,D,r)r−D≥(12)D−1\liminf n(2,D,r)r^{-D}\ge(\frac12)^{D-1} is a precursor of Conjecture 3 with a weaker constant.

Site-versus-source items (recorded, not resolved with the site). (a) The site's h1(d)=d+1h_1(d)=d+1 without the restriction d≥3d\ge3, false at d=2d=2 (the thread's correction, conceded; the 2022 paper's p. 1 is the source of the sentence and prints it the same way). (b) The site's version of the 2022 Conjecture 1 makes the paper's equality condition necessary and sufficient, where the paper prints only "if". (c) The two 2022 conjectures displayed as open, where a 2026 preprint refutes one and half of the other and another claims the remaining half; preprint status, so no correction of the site is implied. (d) Erdős's "nr+1n^{r+1}" against the later Θ(dt)\Theta(d^t), a slip in the origin recorded as printed.

Forum and proof-claim items (recorded with provenance, not status). The thread: 24 March 2026 (the account Adenwalla) asks whether K3K_3 refutes the site's h1(2)=3h_1(2)=3; 25 March 2026 (the site's author) agrees, saying the sentence h1(d)=d+1h_1(d)=d+1 was taken from [CCJK22] and holds for d≥3d\ge3 but fails at d=2d=2 because of K3K_3; 25 March 2026 (the account StijnC) gives the d=2d=2 case (ht(2)=2t+2h_t(2)=2t+2) and the proof for d≥3d\ge3; 9 August 2026 (the account Xiao Hu) announces the Korsky and Cames van Batenburg preprint, arXiv:2608.03965; 17 August 2026, 13:33 (the account BitterLemma) posts the three corrections above, citing [KMP26]'s Lemma 3.1 and Theorem 1.11 and a third-party working report of 28 July 2026, with a signature describing the poster as an AI-assisted project that checked the primary sources before posting; 17 August 2026, 18:25 (BitterLemma) claims the exact value h3(4)=71h_3(4)=71 with a machine-checked proof: the lower bound is [KMP26]'s, and the matching upper bound is described as an elementary finite reduction confining any extremal configuration to at most 80 vertices in four breadth-first layers, a counting bound leaving at most 79 edges available, and an exhaustive certified search over 123 surviving layer profiles, all formalized in Lean 4 without sorry on the axioms propext, Classical.choice and Quot.sound, the only outside input being the unsatisfiability of 123 CNF formulas, each with an LRAT refutation, in a repository bitterlemma/erdos-934, which holds the Lean development and the manuscript, published the same day as a Zenodo deposit; the post's provenance statement says that the mathematics, code, formalization and text were produced with Claude (Anthropic) under human direction and review, and that every externally checkable component was verified by a pass independent of the one that produced it; the claim is recorded on its claim page. The proof-claim tab lists a partial proof claimed by Samuel Korsky, naming the AI system GPT 5.6-Pro as a tool, submitted 2026-07-29 09:07:13, whose summary claims ht(d)≥(1−o(1))dth_t(d)\ge(1-o(1))d^t as d→∞d\to\infty for t>2t>2 by a construction from complete flags over Fqt\mathbb F_q^t for a prime power q∼d1/(t−1)q\sim d^{1/(t-1)}, with an external link to a shared-drive file (linked from its claim page) and three comments recorded on its claim page; the site's tab page carries its standing disclaimer that a listing is no guarantee of correctness. The claim is the statement of Conjecture 3 later posted as [CvBK26]. None of these items changes the status; the h3(4)=71h_3(4)=71 value, if confirmed, would be one exact value at one (t,d)(t,d).

Search scope. None of the routes below found an asymptotic determination of ht(d)h_t(d), a refereed change to the 2022 bounds, or a resolution of the site's request.

(2) [KMP26] and [CvBK26] are preprints; the refutation of the t=3t=3 formula and of the upper asymptotic at t=3t=3, and the claimed lower asymptotic for every tt, await refereeing or an independent check. (3) The thread's exact value h3(4)=71h_3(4)=71 and the tab's claim rest on external manuscripts and code whose review is not recorded. (4) The journal text of [CCJK22] is not compared with the accepted arXiv v2. (5) Erdős's "nr+1n^{r+1}" is recorded as printed and not explained.
