Abstract

Given integers r>t1r > t \ge 1 and a real number p>0p > 0, the (t,p)(t,p)-norm Ht,p\left\lVert \mathcal{H} \right\rVert_{t,p} of an rr-graph H\mathcal{H} is the sum of the pp-th power of the degrees dH(T)d_{\mathcal{H}}(T) over all tt-subsets TV(H)T \subset V(\mathcal{H}). We conduct a systematic study of the Tur\'{a}n-type problem of determining ext,p(n,F)\mathrm{ex}_{t,p}(n,\mathcal{F}), which is the maximum of Ht,p\left\lVert \mathcal{H} \right\rVert_{t,p} over all nn-vertex F\mathcal{F}-free rr-graphs H\mathcal{H}. We establish several basic properties for the (t,p)(t,p)-norm of rr-graphs, enabling us to derive general theorems from the recently established framework in~\cite{CL24} that are useful for determining ext,p(n,F)\mathrm{ex}_{t,p}(n,\mathcal{F}) and proving the corresponding stability. We determine the asymptotic value of ext,p(n,HFr)\mathrm{ex}_{t,p}(n,H_{F}^{r}) for all feasible combinations of (r,t,p)(r,t,p) and for every graph FF with chromatic number greater than rr, where HFrH_{F}^{r} represents the expansion of FF. In the case where FF is edge-critical and p1p \ge 1, we establish strong stability and determine the exact value of ext,p(n,HFr)\mathrm{ex}_{t,p}(n,H_{F}^{r}) for all sufficiently large nn. These results extend the seminal theorems of Erd\H{o}s--Stone--Simonovits, Andr\'{a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s, Erd\H{o}s--Simonovits, and a classical theorem of Mubayi. For the 33-uniform generalized triangle F5F_5, we determine the exact value of ex2,p(n,F5)\mathrm{ex}_{2,p}(n,F_5) for all p1p \ge 1 and its asymptotic value for all p[1/2,1]{k1 ⁣:k6N++{0,2}}p \in [1/2, 1]\cup \{k^{-1} \colon k \in 6\mathbb{N}^{+}+\{0,2\}\}. This extends old theorems of Bollob\'{a}s, Frankl--F\"{u}redi, and a recent result of Balogh--Clemen--Lidick\'{y}. Our proofs utilize results on the graph inducibility problem, Steiner triple systems, and the feasible region problem introduced by Liu--Mubayi.
