This paper introduces the concepts of the augmented Zarankiewicz number $z_A(m,n)$ and the limited augmented Zarankiewicz number $z_L(m,n)$, which are natural combinatorial extensions of the classical Zarankiewicz number. These numbers…

Let $G_1$ denote the incidence graph of the complete graph $K_{q+1}$. We study limited augmented Zarankiewicz numbers in this family by combining exact 0--1 ILP computations for the smallest cases with a constructive search procedure…

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.…

For positive integers $s,t,m$ and $n$, the Zarankiewicz number $z(m,n;s,t)$ is the maximum number of edges in a subgraph of $K_{m,n}$ that has no complete bipartite subgraph containing $s$ vertices in the part of size $m$ and $t$ vertices…

For positive integers $m$ and $n$, the Zarankiewicz number $Z_{2,2}(m,n)$ can be defined as the maximum total degree of a linear hypergraph with $m$ vertices and $n$ edges. Guy determined $Z_{2,2}(m,n)$ for all $n \geq \binom{m}{2}/3+O(m)$.…

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…

Given positive integers m,n,s,t, let z(m,n,s,t) be the maximum number of ones in a (0,1) matrix of size m-by-n that does not contain an all ones submatrix of size s-by-t. We find a flexible upper bound on z(m,n,s,t) that implies the known…
