2Authored explanation
Dong and Xu write this function as \(\operatorname{ex}([n]^2;3,4)\): a set contains no three collinear points and no four concyclic points. Their Theorem 3, specialized to dimension two, gives \(f(n)\geq n/3-o(n)\). The elementary upper bound \(f(n)\leq2n\) follows by looking at the \(n\) horizontal rows. The proposed formula \(2n-2\) remains well above the best published general construction located in this audit.
