2Authored explanation

Kurz studies \(S_{\square}(n)\), the largest number of squares spanned by \(n\) arbitrary planar points. Theorem 51 proves \(S_{\square}(17)=22\). Table 6 records the lower bounds 25, 28, and 32 for 18, 19, and 20 points. Appendix C lists point-set representatives. The paper describes the 20-point value as a lower bound, so it does not settle the present finite-grid maximum.

The same 32-square pattern fits inside \(\{0,\ldots,9\}^2\), as the executable record verifies. A focused search for the fixed-cardinality ten-grid problem found no paper giving an exact optimum or a grid-specific upper certificate.

A direct exact model uses one binary variable \(x_p\) for each of the 100 grid points and one binary variable \(y_s\) for each of the 825 grid squares. Impose \[ \sum_p x_p=20,\qquad y_s\leq x_p\quad(p\in s), \] and maximize \(\sum_s y_s\). Positivity of the objective forces \(y_s=1\) whenever all four vertices of \(s\) are selected. This model has 925 binary variables and 3,301 linear constraints. A solver proof log, checked independently against the 825-square list digest in this record, would close the interval.
