Erdős problem 22

Let ϵ>0\epsilon > 0 and let nn be sufficiently large depending on ϵ\epsilon. Is there a graph on nn vertices with at least n2/8n^2/8 many edges which contains no K4K_4, such that the largest independent set has size at most ϵn\epsilon n?

The construction of Bollobás and Erdős [BoEr76]: for every ϵ>0\epsilon > 0 and δ>0\delta > 0, for all sufficiently large nn there is a K4K_4-free graph on nn vertices with independence number at most δn\delta n and at least (1/8ϵ)n2(1/8 - \epsilon)n^2 edges. Together with erdos_22.variants.szemeredi_upper this shows that the Ramsey–Turán density of K4K_4 is 1/81/8.
