2Authored explanation
The problem was checked as open on 2026-08-01.
The strongest neighboring result found in the cited sources is: The maintained record gives explicit constructions whose largest clique or independent set is at most \((\log n)^C\), which remains too large to yield \(N_k\ge C_0^k\).
The exact unresolved remainder is: Obtain any fixed exponential base greater than one by an explicit construction.
A complete resolution must meet the following acceptance conditions: - Specify the construction, prove it avoids monochromatic \(K_k\), and prove \(N_k\ge C^k\) for a fixed \(C>1\) on an infinite sequence of \(k\).
