Constructive lower bounds for off-diagonal Ramsey numbers

We describe an explicit construction whicy, for some fixed absolute positive constant ε, produces, for every integers>1 and all sufficiently largem, a graph on at least vertices containing neither a clique of sizes nor an independent set of sizem.
