A method is described of constructing a class of self‐complementary graphs, that includes a self‐complementary graph, containing no K 5 , with 41 vertices and a self‐complementary graph, containing no K 7 , with 113 vertices. The latter construction gives the improved Ramsey number lower bound r (7, 7) ≥ 114.
