| For n>6,letand Tn4 =(V,E4).In this paper,for p>n>10 we obtain explicit formulas for ex(p;Tn4),where ex(p;L)denotes the maximal number of edges in a graph of order p not containing L as a subgraph.Suppose p = k(n-1)+ r,κ ∈ {1,2,3,...} and r ∈ {0,1,...,n-2}.If r ∈ {3,4,...,n-8},thenwhere b is the least nonnegative residue of n-4 modulo r + 3 and[x]is the greatest integer not exceeding x.For r = n-7 we have ex{p;Tn4)=(n-2)p-4(n-4/2.Let r(G1,G2)be the Ramsey number of the two graphs G1 and G2.In this paper we also obtain some explicit formulas for r(Gm,Tn4),where Gm is connected with order m ≤ n.In particular,if n>m + 2 ≤ 15,then... |
