چکیده

Let r, s ≥ 2 be integers. Suppose that the number of blue r-cliques in a red/blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph Kn is known and fixed. What is the largest possible number of red s-cliques under this assumption? The well known Kruskal-Katona theorem answers this question for r = 2 or s = 2. Using the shifting technique from extremal set theory together with some analytical arguments, we resolve this problem in general and prove that in the extremal coloring either the blue edges or the red edges form a clique.

INDEPENDENT SETS OF SOME GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMMUTATIVE RINGS

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Ssubseteq V$ isindependent set of $G$,  if no two vertices of $S$ are adjacent.The  independence number $alpha(G)$ is the size of a maximumindependent set in the graph. In this paper we study and characterize the independent sets ofthe zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R)$ and ideal-based zero-divisor graph $Gamma_I(R)$of a commutative ring $R$.

Maximizing the Number of Independent Sets of Fixed Size in Connected Graphs with Given Independence Number

The Turán connected graph TCn,α is obtained from α cliques of size b αc or d αe by joining all cliques by an edge to one central vertex in one of the larger cliques. The graph TCn,α was shown recently by Bruyère and Mélot to maximise the number of independent sets among connected graphs of order n and independence number α. We prove a generalisation of this result by showing that TCn,α in fact ...

Partitions of graphs into one or two independent sets and cliques

It is shown in this note that it can be recognized in polynomial time whether the vertex set of a finite undirected graph can be partitioned into one or two independent sets and one or two cliques. Such graphs generalize bipartite and split graphs and the result also shows that it can be recognized in polynomial time whether a graph can be partitioned into two split graphs. A time bound O(n) is...

Disjoint cliques and disjoint maximal independent sets of vertices in graphs

In this paper, we find lower bounds for the maximum and minimum numbers of cliques in maximal sets of pairwise disjoint cliques in a graph . By complementation, these yield lower bounds for the maximum and minimum numbers of independent sets in maximal sets of pairwise disjoint maximal independent sets of vertices in a graph . In the latter context, we show by examples that one of our bounds is...
