Problem 873: Forbidden Subgraphs

Mathematical Foundation

Definition (Turan Graph). The Turan graph $T(n, r)$ is the complete $r$-partite graph on $n$ vertices whose part sizes differ by at most 1. Explicitly, if $n = qr + s$ with $0 \leq s < r$, then $s$ parts have size $q+1$ and $r - s$ parts have size $q$.

Theorem (Turan, 1941). The maximum number of edges in a $K_{r+1}$-free graph on $n$ vertices is $|E(T(n,r))|$, and $T(n,r)$ is the unique extremal graph.

Proof. We proceed in three steps.

Step 1 (Turan graph is $K_{r+1}$-free). In $T(n,r)$, any clique contains at most one vertex from each of the $r$ parts, so the largest clique has size $r$. Hence $T(n,r)$ contains no $K_{r+1}$.

Step 2 (Zykov symmetrization). Let $G$ be a $K_{r+1}$-free graph on $n$ vertices with the maximum number of edges. Take two non-adjacent vertices $u, v$. If we replace the neighborhood of $u$ with $N(u) \cup N(v)$ and the neighborhood of $v$ with $N(u) \cup N(v)$ (i.e., give both vertices the same closed neighborhood minus each other), the result is still $K_{r+1}$-free (since $u$ and $v$ are non-adjacent and share the same neighbors) and has at least as many edges. Iterating, we obtain a complete multipartite graph.

Step 3 (Balancing). Among complete $r$-partite graphs on $n$ vertices, the number of edges is $\binom{n}{2} - \sum_{i=1}^{r}\binom{|V_i|}{2}$. By the convexity of $\binom{x}{2}$, this is maximized when the parts are as equal as possible, i.e., the Turan graph. $\square$

Lemma (Edge Count Formula). For $n = qr + s$ with $0 \leq s < r$:

Proof. The graph has $s$ parts of size $q+1$ and $r-s$ parts of size $q$. The total number of non-edges within parts is

Since $n = qr + s$, we get $q = (n-s)/r$, and the edge count is $\binom{n}{2}$ minus the non-edges. Algebraic simplification yields the stated formula. $\square$

Theorem (Erdos—Stone—Simonovits). For any graph $H$ with chromatic number $\chi(H) \geq 2$:

Proof. The lower bound comes from $T(n, \chi(H)-1)$, which is $H$-free since it has chromatic number $\chi(H)-1 < \chi(H)$. The upper bound is the deep content of the theorem, proved by Erdos and Stone (1946) using the regularity method. $\square$

Editorial

Turan-type extremal graph theory. We evaluate the closed-form expressions derived above directly from the relevant parameters and return the resulting value.

Pseudocode

    q = n / r // integer division
    s = n mod r
    Return (r - 1) * n * n - s * (r - s)) / (2 * r)

    Apply Turan-type reasoning or direct computation
    depending on the specific forbidden subgraph variant
    Return result

Complexity Analysis

• Time: Computing $|E(T(n,r))|$ is $O(1)$ arithmetic. If the problem requires iterating over graphs or checking subgraph conditions, the complexity depends on the specific variant. For direct Turan computation: $O(1)$.
• Space: $O(1)$.
