Retained formal statement2 of 2

A superlinear lower bound: there is a c>0c>0 with extremalGap(n)n1+c/loglogn\text{extremalGap}(n)\geq n^{1 + c/\log\log n} for all large nn, so max(f(d1)f(d2))\max (f(d_1)-f(d_2)) grows faster than any linear function of nn. Determining the exact order remains open, which is erdos_959.

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