The limited augmented Zarankiewicz number $z_L(m,n)$ satisfies $\operatorname{BSR}(m,n)\ge z_L(m,n)\ge z(m,n)$, where $\operatorname{BSR}(m,n)$ is the maximum SOS rank of $m\times n$ biquadratic forms and $z(m,n)$ is the classical…

The limited augmented Zarankiewicz number $z_L(m,n)$ corresponds to 2-edges $(i,j;k,l)$ in a $C_4$-free bipartite graph, each representing a square $(x_i y_j + x_k y_l)^2$. We introduce \emph{3-edges} $(i,j;k,l;p,q)$ representing $(x_i y_j…

Denote the maximum sos rank of $m \times n$ sum of squares (SOS) biquadratic forms by $BSR(m, n)$. In this paper, we show that $BSR(m, n) \ge z(m, n)$ and conjecture that $BSR(m, n) = z(m, n)$, where $z(m, n)$ is the Zarankiewicz number.…

We investigate the maximum sum-of-squares (SOS) rank of biquadratic forms in the critical case of $4 \times 3$ variables, where the general bounds are currently $7 \leq \mathrm{BSR}(4,3) \leq 11$. By analyzing two important structured…

We study the sum-of-squares (SOS) rank of simple and diagonal biquadratic forms. For simple biquadratic forms in $3 \times 3$ variables, we show that the maximum SOS rank is exactly $6$, attained by a specific six-term form. We further…

The Zarankiewicz number $\textbf{Z}(m, n, s, t)$ is the maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph $G_{m, n}$ such that there is no complete $K_{s, t}$ bipartite subgraph. We determine for the first time the exact values of three…

For positive integers $s$, $t$, $m$ and $n$, the Zarankiewicz number $Z_{s,t}(m,n)$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph with parts of sizes $m$ and $n$ that has no complete biparitite subgraph containing $s$…

The Zarankiewicz problem asks for an estimate on $z(m, n; s, t)$, the largest number of $1$'s in an $m \times n$ matrix with all entries $0$ or $1$ containing no $s \times t$ submatrix consisting entirely of $1$'s. We show that a classical…

In 1973, Calder\'{o}n proved that an $m \times 2$ positive semidefinite (psd) biquadratic form can always be expressed as the sum of ${3m(m+1) \over 2}$ squares of quadratic forms. Very recently, by applying Hilbert's theorem on ternary…
