Let $T_{n,r}$ be the Tur\\'{a}n graph, which is the complete $r$-partite graph on $n$ vertices with part sizes that differ by at most one. The well-known Tur\\'{a}n Theorem states that $T_{n,r}$ is the only extremal graph for complete graph $K_{r+1}$. Erd\\\"{o}s et al. (1995) determined the extremal graphs for intersecting triangles and Chen et al. (2003) determined the maximum number of edges of the extremal graphs for intersecting cliques. In this paper, we determine the extremal graphs for intersecting odd cycles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-28T16:39:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "extremal graph", "intersecting odd cycles", "maximum number", "complete graph", "partite graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
