Define the Turán graph . State and prove Turán's theorem. Hence, or otherwise, find .
Let be a bipartite graph with vertices in each class. Let be an integer, , and assume . Show that contains a set of independent edges.
[Hint: Suppose contains a set of a independent edges but no set of a independent edges. Let be the set of vertices of the edges in and let be the set of edges in with precisely one vertex in ; consider
Hence, or otherwise, show that if is a triangle-free tripartite graph with vertices in each class then .
