Edge-coloring to avoid large monochromatic stars

Conjecture (proposed by Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp [1])

In every \(3\)-coloring of the edges of \(K_n\), there is a color such that there are three vertices whose neighbors (joining by edges in such a color) include at least two-thirds of all the vertices.

An example of Kierstead [1] shows the result of the conjecture is the best possible. In 2014, the conjecture was proved by Baber and Talbot [2], using flag algebras.
