Abstract (arXiv)

The Zarankiewicz number Z(m,n,s,t) is the maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph with parts of orders m and n containing no copy of Ks,t. We give one combined, certificate-based computer-assisted proof for two finite slices and a corrected neighboring frontier: Z(12,n,3,3) = 6n (18 <= n <= 22), Z(13,22,3,3) = 137, Z(13, 18, 3, 3) = 116, Z(14, 18, 3, 3) = 124, Z(15,18,3,3) = 132, Z(14, 17, 3, 3) = 118, Z(15, 17, 3, 3) = 126, 132 <= Z(16,17,3,3) <= 133. The load-bearing new upper bounds are the exact 12 x 18 and 13 x 18 certificate packages. Their orbit certificates exclude every hypothetical matrix at the next edge count. Deletion lemmas and explicit witnesses close four neighboring cells, while the 16 x 17 entry is deliberately reported as an interval because only its 132-edge lower witness and the published 133 upper bound are certified here. Separately, the 13 x 22 proof excludes 138 ones by reducing to 83 degree profiles, rationally separating 77 of them, and eliminating the remaining six by marked-row congruences, leave enumeration, modular Gram tests, and exact Farkas certificates. All accepted claims are replayed by standard-library Python and exact integer/rational arithmetic; floating-point optimization is used only to discover certificates.
