Abstract

We consider the problem of finding ex (n; G), defined as the maximal number of edges anr-graph onn vertices can have that contains no subgraph isomorphic toG. We construct certainr-graphsG for which we find the coefficientτ(G) of the asymptotic expansion ex(n;G)==\((\tau (G) + o(1))\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ r \\ \end{array} } \right)\) asn→∞.
