noncomputable def SimpleGraph.triangleRemovalBound (ε : ℝ) : ℝ

An explicit form for the constant in the triangle removal lemma.

Note that this depends on SzemerediRegularity.bound, which is a tower-type exponential. This means triangleRemovalBound is in practice absolutely tiny.

Triangle Removal Lemma. If not all triangles can be removed by removing few edges (on the order of (card α)^2), then there were many triangles to start with (on the order of (card α)^3).

Triangle Removal Lemma. If there are not too many triangles (on the order of (card α)^3) then they can all be removed by removing a few edges (on the order of (card α)^2).

def Mathlib.Meta.Positivity.evalTriangleRemovalBound : PositivityExt

Extension for the positivity tactic: SimpleGraph.triangleRemovalBound ε is positive if 0 < ε ≤ 1.

Note this looks for ε ≤ 1 in the context.
