Gy\\H{o}ri, Pach and Simonovits (1991) proved that cycle $C_4$ of length four is strictly $K_{r+1}$-Tur\\'{a}n-good for all $r\\geq 2$. In this article, we extend this result and show that $C_4$ is strictly $F$-Tur\\'an-good, where $F$ is an $(r+1)$-chromatic graph with $r\\ge 2$ and a color-critical edge. Moreover, we show that every $n$-vertex $C_4$-free graph $G$ with $N(H,G)=\\ex(n,C_4,F)-o(n^4)$ can be obtained by adding or deleting $o(n^2)$ edges from $T_r(n)$. Our proof uses the flag algebra method developed by Razborov (2007).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-10T15:07:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C35", "05C38" ], "keywords": [ "turán-good", "chromatic graph", "free graph", "flag algebra method", "turan-good" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
