3.证明(mavropnevma)Since it is irrelevant which persons of the same gender know each other, we
may assume there ore none such, and consider the bipartite graph having the left shore made of the boys and the right shore made of the girls, with an edge connecting a boy and a girl if
they know each other. The condition means
does not contain any induced
cycle of length ,
and the requirement is to show the number
of edges satisfies .
Thus it is an extremal graph theory question, for bipartite
graphs with forbidden 's; by
symmetry we should also have .
Denote by
the set of girls that each knows exactly one boy, and by
knows more than one boy;
take
and the set of girls that each and . We obviously
have

Let us count the number

one girl
knowing them both (by the condition), so . Moreover, by pigeonhole
