The 𝒜α-Spectral Turán Problem for s-Clique Tensors of Kr+1-Free Graphs
Abstract
For fixed r≥3 and 0<α<1, we study the maximum α-s-clique spectral radius among n-vertex Kr+1-free graphs. Here 𝒜α,s(G)=α𝒟s(G)+(1−α)𝒜s(G), where 𝒜s(G) and 𝒟s(G) are the adjacency and degree tensors of the s-clique hypergraph of G. For s=r, put cr=((r−1)/r)r−1. We prove that, for all sufficiently large n, the unique extremal graph is the Turán graph Tr(n) if α≤ cr, and K1∨ Tr−1(n−1) if α>cr. For general 3≤ s≤ r and n≥ r, every extremal graph is complete r-partite. The asymptotic maximum α-r-clique spectral radius among n-vertex Kr+1-free graphs is max{r1−r,α(r−1)1−r}nr−1+o(nr−1). In every asymptotically extremal sequence of complete r-partite graphs, all parts have size n/r+o(n) when α<cr; when α>cr, one part has size o(n) and the remaining parts have size n/(r−1)+o(n). At α=cr, both part-size patterns are asymptotically extremal.

AB - For fixed r≥3 and 0<α<1, we study the maximum α-s-clique spectral radius among n-vertex K_r+1-free graphs. Here 𝒜_α,s(G)=α𝒟_s(G)+(1−α)𝒜_s(G), where 𝒜_s(G) and 𝒟_s(G) are the adjacency and degree tensors of the s-clique hypergraph of G. For s=r, put c_r=((r−1)/r)^r−1. We prove that, for all sufficiently large n, the unique extremal graph is the Turán graph T_r(n) if α≤ c_r, and K_1∨ T_r−1(n−1) if α>c_r. For general 3≤ s≤ r and n≥ r, every extremal graph is complete r-partite. The asymptotic maximum α-r-clique spectral radius among n-vertex K_r+1-free graphs is max{r^1−r,α(r−1)^1−r}n^r−1+o(n^r−1). In every asymptotically extremal sequence of complete r-partite graphs, all parts have size n/r+o(n) when α<c_r; when α>c_r, one part has size o(n) and the remaining parts have size n/(r−1)+o(n). At α=c_r, both part-size patterns are asymptotically extremal.
