The question is that of determining among all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and $\\Delta(G)\\leq r$, which has the most complete subgraphs of size $t$, for $t\\geq 3$. The conjectured extremal graph is $aK_{r+1}\\cup K_b$, where $n=a(r+1)+b$ with $0\\leq b\\leq r$. Gan, Loh, and Sudakov proved the conjecture when $a\\leq 1$, and also reduced the general conjecture to the case $t=3$. We prove the conjecture for $r\\leq 6$ and also establish a weaker form of the conjecture for all $r$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-05-06T15:35:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "complete subgraphs", "maximum number", "maximum degree", "fixed size", "attracted substantial attention" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1405.1322C" } } }
