[#R1261] Resolve the stated acceptance condition
1Summary
Give a rigorous proof or counterexample that completely resolves this statement: Erdős Problem 82: For each positive integer \(n\), let \(F(n)\) denote the largest integer such that every finite simple graph on \(n\) vertices contains a regular induced subgraph with at least \(F(n)\) vertices. Here, a regular induced subgraph of a graph \(G\) is an induced subgraph that is \(k\)-regular for some non-negative integer \(k\), meaning every vertex in the subgraph has exactly \(k\) neighbors within the subgraph. Determine whether \(\displaystyle \frac{F(n)}{\log n} \to \infty\) as \(n \to \infty\).
Target the displayed statement directly.

Determine whether \(\displaystyle \frac{F(n)}{\log n} \to \infty\) as \(n \to \infty\). Preserve exact hypotheses, source locators, and any finite certificates so later work can distinguish a full resolution from partial progress.
