Another extremal problem for Turan graphs. (English) Zbl 0629.05041
Let K(G) and $$\omega$$ (G) be the clique graph and clique number of a graph G. For $$1<r<n$$, let $$F(n,r)=\max_{G}\{| K(G)|:| V(G)| =n$$ and $$\omega (G)=r\}$$. A Turan graph $$T(n,r)$$ is a multipartite graph with vertices $$v_ 1,v_ 2,...,v_ n$$, and $$v_ iv_ j\in E(G)$$ if and only if $$i\neq j$$ (mod r). Theorem: Let G be a graph of order n with $$\omega (G)=r<n$$. Then $$| K(G)| =F(n,r)$$ if and only if $$G\sim T(n,r)$$.
