چکیده

Let G be a K4-free graph, an edge in its complement is a K4-saturating edge if the addition of this edge to G creates a copy of K4. Erdős and Tuza conjectured that for any n-vertex K4-free graph G with bn2/4c + 1 edges, one can find at least (1 + o(1)) 2 16 K4-saturating edges. We construct a graph with only 2n2 33 K4-saturating edges. Furthermore, we prove that it is best possible, i.e., one can always find at least (1 + o(1)) 2 33 K4-saturating edges in an n-vertex K4-free graph with bn2/4c+ 1 edges.

Making a K4-free graph bipartite

We show that every K4-free graph G with n vertices can be made bipartite by deleting at most n/9 edges. Moreover, the only extremal graph which requires deletion of that many edges is a complete 3-partite graph with parts of size n/3. This proves an old conjecture of P. Erdős.

The Ramsey Multiplicity of K4

With the help of computer algorithms, we improve the lower bound on the Ramsey multiplicity of K4, and thus show that the exact value of it is equal to 9. The Ramsey multiplicity M(G) of a graph G is defined as the smallest number of monochromatic copies ofG in any two-coloring of edges of KR(G), whereR(G) is the Ramsey number of G, i.e. the smallest integer n such that any two-coloring of edge...

A stability theorem on fractional covering of triangles by edges

Let ν(G) denote the maximum number of edge-disjoint triangles in a graph G and τ(G) denote the minimum total weight of a fractional covering of its triangles by edges. Krivelevich proved that τ(G) ≤ 2ν(G) for every graph G. This is sharp, since for the complete graphK4 we have ν(K4) = 1 and τ (K4) = 2. We refine this result by showing that if a graph G has τ(G) ≥ 2ν(G) − x, then G contains ν(G)...

Edge-Coloring Cliques with Three Colors on All 4-Cliques

A coloring of the edges of Kn is constructed such that every copy of K4 has at least three colors on its edges. As n → ∞, the number of colors used is eO( √ log n ). This improves upon the previous probabilistic bound of O( √ n ) due to Erdős and Gyárfás.
