Abstract

The expansion of a graph FF, denoted by F3F^3, is the 33-graph obtained from FF by adding a new vertex to each edge such that different edges receive different vertices. For large nn, we establish tight upper bounds for: The maximum number of edges in an nn-vertex 33-graph that does not contain T3T^3 for certain class T\mathcal{T} of trees, sharpening (partially) a result of Kostochka--Mubayi--Verstra\"{e}te. The minimum number of colors needed to color the complete nn-vertex 33-graph to ensure the existence of a rainbow copy of F3F^3 when FF is a graph obtained from some tree TTT\in \mathcal{T} by adding a new edge, extending anti-Ramsey results on P2t3P_{2t}^3 by Gu--Li--Shi and C2t3C_{2t}^3 by Tang--Li--Yan. The maximum number of edges in an nn-vertex 33-graph whose shadow does not contain the shadow of Ck3C_{k}^3 or T3T^3 for TTT\in \mathcal{T}, answering a question of Lv \etal on generalized Tur\'{a}n problems.
