It has been long conjectured that the crossing number cr(Km,n) of the complete bipartite graph Km,n equals the Zarankiewicz number Z(m, n) :=[(m-1)/2][m/2][(n-1)/2][n/2]. Another longstanding conjecture states that the crossing number cr(Kn) of the complete graph Kn equals Z(n):=(1/4)[n/2][(n-1)/2][...
