Number of edges in Turán graph












1












$begingroup$


I am trying to prove that the number of edges in the Turán graph $T^r(n)$ (that is, the complete $r$-partite graph on $n$ vertices whose partition sets differ in size by at most 1) satisfy the inequality
$$|E(T^r(n))| geq (1-frac{1}{r} - o(1))frac{n^2}{2},$$
and I'm stuck. Any help is much appreciated.

    I guess $o(1)$ means $o(1)$ as $ntoinfty$ with $r$ fixed?

    I think it follows from $|E(T^r(n))|ge(1-frac1r)binom n2$ which follow from the fact that each vertex $v$ of $T^r(n)$ has degree $ge(1-frac1r)(n-1)$.

    There is a result in Bollobas' Modern Graph Theory which states that the number of edges of $T^r(n)$ is $(1-frac{1}{r}+o(1))binom{n}{2}$, but the result I am trying to prove has $frac{n^2}{2}$ instead of $binom{n}{2}$, that's another thing that confuses me.

I recall that the number $|E(T^r(n))|$ can be easily calculated exactly. Let $n=qr+s$, where $0le s<r$. Then the $r$-partition of the vertex set of the graph $T^r(n)$ has $s$ parts of size $q+1$ and $r-s$ parts of size $q$. Thus



$$|E(T^r(n))|={s choose 2}(q+1)^2+s(r-s)q(q+1)+ {r-s choose 2}q^2=frac 12left( q^2r^2-q^2r+2sqr-2sq+s^2-sright)=frac 12left(n^2-q(n+s)-sright)= frac 12left(n^2-frac {(n-s)(n+s)}{r}-sright)= frac 12left(n^2-frac {(n^2-s^2)}{r}-sright).$$



Thus
$$left|E(T^r(n))|-frac{n^2}{2}left(1-frac 1rright)right|=frac{s(r-s)}{2r}le left(frac {s+r-s}2right)^2frac 1{2r}=frac r8.$$
