The Turán Number of Path-star Forests
摘要
The Turán number of a graph H, denoted by ex(n, H), is the maximum number of edges in any graph on n vertices containing no H as a subgraph. A linear (star) forest is a forest consisting of paths (stars). A path-star forest F is a forest consisting of paths and stars. In this paper, we determine ex(n, F) for sufficiently large n and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs, and our result generalizes previous known results on the Turán numbers of linear forests and star forests.
