摘要: 本文研究了极值图论中的一个特定问题:在一个含10个顶点的图中,当其无4–圈但必须包含至少一个三角形时,其边数的最大值是多少?通过分析相关极值图的性质并结合构造性证明,确定了该问题的精确值为14。此结果揭示了小规模极值图的结构“刚性”,即一个局部结构约束(必须存在c3)的引入,如何显著地将其全局边数上限从16降低至14。
Abstract: This paper investigates a specific problem in extremal graph theory: determining the maximum number of edges in a graph on 10 vertices that is 4-cycle-free but is required to contain at least one triangle. By analyzing the properties of related extremal graphs and providing a constructive proof, we establish that the exact value of this maximum is 14. This result reveals the structural rigidity of small-scale extremal graphs, demonstrating how the imposition of a local constraint, the mandatory presence of a c3 significantly reduces the graph’s global edge limit from 16 to 14.
