Abstract
We investigate natural Turán problems for mixed graphs, generalizations of graphs where edges can be either directed or undirected. We study a natural Turán density coefficient that measures how large a fraction of directed edges an F-free mixed graph can have; we establish an analogue of the Erdős-Stone-Simonovits theorem and give a variational characterization of the Turán density coefficient of any mixed graph (along with an associated extremal F-free family).
This characterization enables us to highlight an important divergence between classical extremal numbers and the Turán density coefficient. We show that Turán density coefficients can be irrational, but are always algebraic; for every positive integer k, we construct a family of mixed graphs whose Turán density coefficient has algebraic degree k.
我们研究了混合图的自然图兰问题,混合图是图的一般化,其中的边既可以是有向的,也可以是无向的。我们研究了自然图兰密度系数,它可以测量无 F 混合图中有多大一部分有向边,我们建立了厄尔多斯-斯通-西蒙诺维茨定理的类比,并给出了任何混合图的图兰密度系数的变分特征(以及相关的无 F 极值族)。我们证明了图兰密度系数可以是无理数,但总是代数的;对于每一个正整数 k,我们都构建了一个图兰密度系数具有代数度 k 的混合图族。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
