    Does there exist a $k>2$ such that the $k$-sized subsets of {1,...,2k} can be coloured with $k+1$ colours such that for every $A\subset \{1,\ldots,2k\}$ with $\lvert A\rvert=k+1$ all $k+1$ colours appear among the $k$-sized subsets of $A$?

    Alternative statement of Erdős Problem 835 using the chromatic number of the Johnson graph. This is equivalent to asking whether there exists $k > 2$ such that the chromatic number of the Johnson graph $J(2k, k)$ is $k+1$.

    It is known that for $3 \leq k \leq 8$, the chromatic number of $J(2k, k)$ is greater than $k+1$, see Johnson graphs.

    The smallest case not on this page is $k=9$: But that one can be solved as well: The chromatic number of $J(18, 9)$ is at least $11$.

    Johnson's upper bound on the maximum size A(n, d, w) of a n-dimensional binary code of distance d and weight w is as follows:

    • If d > 2 * w, then A(n, d, w) = 1.
    • If d ≤ 2 * w, then A(n, d, w) ≤ ⌊n / w * A(n - 1, d, w - 1)⌋.

      Johnson's bound for the chromatic number of the Johnson graph.

      It is known that for $3 \leq k \leq 8$, the chromatic number of $J(2k, k)$ is greater than $k+1$, see Johnson graphs.

      theorem Erdos835.chromaticNumber_johnson_2k_k_lower_bound_odd {k : } (hk : 3 k) (hk' : k 300) (hk_odd : Odd k) :

      It is also known that for $3 \leq k \leq 203$ odd, the chromatic number of $J(2k, k)$ is greater than $k+1$, see Johnson graphs.

      theorem Erdos835.johnson_chromaticNumber_odd (k : ) (hk : 2 < k) (h : Odd k) :

      It can be seen that the chromatic number of $J(2k,k)$ is $>k+1$ for all odd $k>2$.

      theorem Erdos835.johnson_chromaticNumber_composite (k : ) (hk : 2 < k) (h : (k + 1).Composite) :

      Ma and Tang have proved that the chromatic number of $J(2k,k)$ is $>k+1$ for all $k>2$ not of the form $p-1$ for prime $p$.

      theorem Erdos835.johnsonGraph_chromaticNumber_odd_of_johnson_chromaticNumber_composite :
      (∀ (k : ), 2 < k(k + 1).Compositek + 1 < (SimpleGraph.johnson (2 * k) k).chromaticNumber)∀ (k : ) (hk : 2 < k) (h : Odd k), k + 1 < (SimpleGraph.johnson (2 * k) k).chromaticNumber

      Ma and Tang's result implies the cases for odd $k$.

      theorem Erdos835.johnson_chromaticNumber :
      sorry k3, k + 2 (SimpleGraph.johnson (2 * k) k).chromaticNumber

      Is the chromatic number of J(2 * k, k) always at least k + 2?
