How large does $\\alpha$ need to be to guarantee that $G$ contains a connected transversal, that is, a tree on $r$ vertices meeting each part in one vertex? And what if instead we want to guarantee the existence of a Hamiltonian transversal? In this paper we initiate the study of such extremal multipartite graph problems, obtaining a number of results and providing many new constructions, conjectures and further questions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-05-09T18:46:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "transversal trees", "density conditions", "extremal multipartite graph problems", "edge density", "hamiltonian transversal" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
