Ore plus Tur\'an

Abstract

Ore in 1961 determined the maximum number of edges in graphs not containing a Hamiltonian cycle, and Tur\'an in 1941 found the maximum number of edges in graphs not containing a Kr+1. Motivated by the work of Adamus in 2009 and Ferrero and Lesniak in 2018 on the maximum number of edges in r-partite non-Hamiltonian graphs, we find the maximum number of edges in Kr+1-free non-Hamiltonian graphs. Then we extend this result from Hamiltonicity to traceability, chorded pancyclicity, Hamiltonian-connectedness, k-path Hamiltonicity, k-Hamiltonicity, k-Hamiltonian-connectedness, and k-connectedness. Finally we introduce a method for translating results on the maximum number of edges to results on the maximum number of t-cliques using the fact that colex Tur\'an graphs are extremal, and thus determine the maximum number of t-cliques in each of these classes of graphs.
