标题： Improved lower bounds on the maximum size of graphs with girth 5

摘要： We present a new algorithm for improving lower bounds on $ex(n;\{C_3,C_4\})$, the maximum size (number of edges) of an $n$-vertex graph of girth at least 5. The core of our algorithm is a variant of a hill-climbing heuristic introduced by Exoo, McKay, Myrvold and Nadon (2011) to find small cages. Our algorithm considers a range of values of $n$ in multiple passes. In each pass, the hill-climbing heuristic for a specific value of $n$ is initialized with a few graphs obtained by modifying near-extremal graphs previously found for neighboring values of $n$, allowing to `propagate' good patterns that were found. 聚焦于当前超出精确方法范围的$n\in \{74,75, \dots, 198\}$范围，我们的方法在该范围内的所有$n$值上对$ex(n;\{C_3,C_4\})$的现有下界进行了改进，除了两个$n$值（$n=96,97$）。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We present a new algorithm for improving lower bounds on $ex(n;\{C_3,C_4\})$, the maximum size (number of edges) of an $n$-vertex graph of girth at least 5. The core of our algorithm is a variant of a hill-climbing heuristic introduced by Exoo, McKay, Myrvold and Nadon (2011) to find small cages. Our algorithm considers a range of values of $n$ in multiple passes. In each pass, the hill-climbing heuristic for a specific value of $n$ is initialized with a few graphs obtained by modifying near-extremal graphs previously found for neighboring values of $n$, allowing to `propagate' good patterns that were found. Focusing on the range $n\in \{74,75, \dots, 198\}$, which is currently beyond the scope of exact methods, our approach yields improvements on existing lower bounds for $ex(n;\{C_3,C_4\})$ for all $n$ in the range, except for two values of $n$ ($n=96,97$).
