- Turán number
In mathematics, the Turán number T("n","k","r") for "r"-graphs of order "n" is the smallest number of "r"-edges such that every set of "k" vertices contains an edge. This number was determined for "r" = 2 by harvtxt|Turán|1941, and the problem for general "r" was introduced in harvtxt|Turán|1961. The paper harv|Sidorenko|1995 gives a survey of Turán numbers. ́
Definitions
Fix a set "X" of "n" vertices. For given "r", an r-edge or block is a set of "r"-vertices. A set of blocks is called a Turán ("n","k","r") system if every "k"-element subset of "X" contains a block.The Turán number T("n","k","r") is the minimum size of such a system.
