Erdős problem 1092

Is it true that f2(n)nf_2(n) \gg n? Disproved by Rödl, who showed fr(n)=o(n)f_r(n) = o(n) for all fixed r2r \geq 2. A conjecture of Erdős, Hajnal, and Szemerédi.

This seems to be closely related to, but distinct from, [744](https://www.erdosproblems.com/744).

Tang notes in the comments that Rödl [Ro82] constructed, for any ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and kk, a graph with chromatic number k\geq k such that every graph on mm vertices is bipartite after deleting at most ϵm\epsilon m edges.
