Extremal graph theory seeks to determine the maximum or minimum values of graph invariants—such as edge count, degree sequence or subgraph density—subject to the exclusion of particular configurations ...

Extremal graph theory seeks the largest or smallest structure a graph can exhibit under given constraints, typically by forbidding a particular subgraph. The classical Turán problem determines the ...
