Abstract

Tur'an's theorem states that the maximum size of an Kr+1 -free graph G of order n is attained by a complete r-partite graph. Here we determine the maximum of e(G) and describe all extremal graphs on the additional restriction that G is not r-colorable. Also, we determine the maximum size of an order-n graph whose shortest odd cycle has given length 2l+1.
