fixes #865

Formalises the statement of Erdős Problem 667, a problem of Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp on the growth exponent of the largest clique guaranteed inside a locally dense graph.

Content

  • LocallyDense p q G — every set of p vertices spans at least q edges (via (G.induce s).edgeSet.ncard).
  • H p q n — the largest m such that every (p, q)-locally dense graph on n vertices contains Kₘ, defined with Nat.findGreatest.
  • c p q — the growth exponent liminf_{n → ∞} log H(n) / log n.
  • erdos_667 (research open) — is q ↦ c(p, q) strictly increasing on 1 ≤ q ≤ binom(p-1, 2) + 1?

Supporting variants (research solved):

  • monotoneOnc p is nondecreasing on the interval.
  • endpointc(p, binom(p-1, 2) + 1) = 1.
  • ramsey_bounds1/(p-1) ≤ c(p, 1) ≤ 2/(p+1) (the q = 1 Ramsey case).

Checks

The file type-checks against the pinned toolchain (leanprover/lean4:v4.27.0); the only diagnostics are the expected declaration uses 'sorry' warnings, one per theorem, and no errors.
