Abstract

For two graphs GG and FF, the extremal number of FF in GG, denoted by {ex}(G,F)(G,F), is the maximum number of edges in a spanning subgraph of GG not containing FF as a subgraph. Determining {ex}(Kn,F)(K_n,F) for a given graph FF is a classical extremal problem in graph theory. In 1962, Erd\H{o}s determined {ex}(Kn,kK3)(K_n,kK_3), which generalized Mantel's Theorem. On the other hand, in 1974, {Bollob\'{a}s}, Erd\H{o}s, and Straus determined {ex}(Kn1,n2,,nr,Kt)(K_{n_1,n_2,\dots,n_r},K_t), which extended Tur\'{a}n's Theorem to complete multipartite graphs. { In this paper,} we determine {ex}(Kn1,n2,,nr,kK3)(K_{n_1,n_2,\dots,n_r},kK_3) for r4r\ge 4 and 10k4n1+4kn2n3nr10k-4\le n_1+4k\le n_2\le n_3\le \cdots \le n_r.
