  2. Extremal graph theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremal_graph_theory

    The Turán graph T(n,r) is an example of an extremal graph. It has the maximum possible number of edges for a graph on n vertices without (r + 1)-cliques. This is T(13,4). Extremal graph theory is a branch of combinatorics, itself an area of mathematics, that lies at the intersection of extremal combinatorics and graph theory. In essence ...

  3. Forbidden subgraph problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_subgraph_problem

    The extremal number ⁡ (,) is the maximum number of edges in an -vertex graph containing no subgraph isomorphic to . is the complete graph on vertices. (,) is the Turán graph: a complete -partite graph on vertices, with vertices distributed between parts as equally as possible.

  4. Turán's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turán's_theorem

    In graph theory, Turán's theorem bounds the number of edges that can be included in an undirected graph that does not have a complete subgraph of a given size. It is one of the central results of extremal graph theory, an area studying the largest or smallest graphs with given properties, and is a special case of the forbidden subgraph problem on the maximum number of edges in a graph that ...

  5. Erdős–Stone theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Stone_theorem

    In extremal graph theory, the Erdős–Stone theorem is an asymptotic result generalising Turán's theorem to bound the number of edges in an H-free graph for a non-complete graph H. It is named after Paul Erdős and Arthur Stone , who proved it in 1946, [ 1 ] and it has been described as the “fundamental theorem of extremal graph theory”.

  7. Szemerédi regularity lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szemerédi_regularity_lemma

    In extremal graph theory, Szemerédi’s regularity lemma states that a graph can be partitioned into a bounded number of parts so that the edges between parts are regular. The lemma shows that certain properties of random graphs can be applied to dense graphs like counting the copies of a given subgraph within graphs.

  8. Clique (graph theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clique_(graph_theory)

    The 11 light blue triangles form maximal cliques. The two dark blue 4-cliques are both maximum and maximal, and the clique number of the graph is 4. In graph theory, a clique (/ ˈ k l iː k / or / ˈ k l ɪ k /) is a subset of vertices of an undirected graph such that every two distinct vertices in the clique are adjacent.

  9. Tuza's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuza's_conjecture

    Packing and covering triangles in the complete graph. The maximum number of edge-disjoint triangles in this graph is two (left). If four edges are removed from the graph (red edges, right), the remaining subgraph becomes triangle-free, and more strongly bipartite (as shown by the blue and yellow vertex coloring). According to Tuza's conjecture ...
