Abstract

Ore in 1961 determined the maximum number of edges in graphs not containing a Hamiltonian cycle, and Tur\'{a}n in 1941 found the maximum number of edges in graphs not containing a Kr+1K_{r+1}. Motivated by the work of Adamus in 2009 and Ferrero and Lesniak in 2018 on the maximum number of edges in rr-partite non-Hamiltonian graphs, we find the maximum number of edges in Kr+1K_{r+1}-free non-Hamiltonian graphs. Then we extend this result from Hamiltonicity to traceability, chorded pancyclicity, Hamiltonian-connectedness, kk-path Hamiltonicity, kk-Hamiltonicity, kk-Hamiltonian-connectedness, and kk-connectedness. Finally we introduce a method for translating results on the maximum number of edges to results on the maximum number of tt-cliques using the fact that colex Tur\'{a}n graphs are extremal, and thus determine the maximum number of tt-cliques in each of these classes of graphs.
