Erdős problem 180

For every finite family F\mathcal{F} of graphs, is there a single GFG \in \mathcal{F} with ex(n;G)Fex(n;F)\mathrm{ex}(n;G) \ll_{\mathcal{F}} \mathrm{ex}(n;\mathcal{F})? A counterexample refutes the Erdős-Simonovits compactness conjecture.

The counterexample: a nonempty family of connected bipartite graphs, none acyclic, that is not compact.

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
