COMMENTS
This sequence is log-superadditive, i.e., a(m+n) >= a(m)*a(n). By Fekete's subadditive lemma, it follows that the limit of a(n)^(1/n) exists and equals the supremum of a(n)^(1/n).
FORMULA
a(m+n) >= a(m)*a(n).
Limit_{n->oo} a(n)^(1/n) >= 97^(1/9) = 1.66246... .
EXAMPLE
For 3 <= n <= 8, a(n) = binomial(n,3) = A000292(n-2) and the complete graph is optimal, but a(9) = 97 > binomial(9,3) with the optimal graph being the complement of the disjoint union of K_3 and K_{3,3}. The optimal graph is unique when 4 <= n <= 9.
