Brandt conjectured in 1997 that for regular triangle-free graphs $q_n(G) leq frac{4n}{25}$. We prove a stronger result: If $G$ is a triangle-free graph then $q_n(G) leq frac{15n}{94}<frac{4n}{25}$. Brandt's conjecture is a subproblem of two famous conjectures of ErdH{o}s: (1) Sparse-Half-Conjecture: Every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph has a subset of vertices of size $lceilfrac{n}{2}rceil$ spanning at most $n^2/50$ edges. (2) Every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph can be made bipartite by removing at most $n^2/25$ edges. In our proof we use linear algebraic methods to upper bound $q_n(G)$ by the ratio between the number of induced paths with 3 and 4 vertices. We give an upper bound on this ratio via the method of flag algebras.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J. Discret.

This problem can be regarded as a saturation problem of ordered bipartite graphs. Motivated by this, we initiate the study of the saturation problem of ordered and cyclically ordered graphs. We prove that dichotomy holds also in these two cases, i.e., for a (cyclically) ordered graph its saturation function is either bounded or linear. We also determine the order of magnitude for large classes of (cyclically) ordered graphs, giving infinite many examples exhibiting both possible behaviours, answering a problem of P'alv\"olgyi. In particular, in the ordered case we define a natural subclass of ordered matchings, the class of linked matchings, and we start their systematic study, concentrating on linked matchings with at most three links and prove that many of them have bounded saturation function. In both the ordered and cyclically ordered case we also consider the semisaturation problem, where dichotomy holds as well and we can even fully characterize the graphs that have bounded semisaturation function.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J.
