Rainbow Tur\'an Methods for Trees

Abstract

The rainbow Tur\'an number, a natural extension of the well studied traditional Tur\'an number, was introduced in 2007 by Keevash, Mubayi, Sudakov and Verstra\"ete. The rainbow Tur\'an number of a graph HH, ex(n,H)ex^{*}(n,H), is the largest number of edges for an nn vertex graph GG which can be properly edge colored with no rainbow HH subgraph. We explore the reduction method for finding upper bounds on rainbow Tur\'an numbers, and use this to inform results for the rainbow Tur\'an numbers of double stars, caterpillars, and perfect binary trees. In addition, we define kk-unique colorings and the related kk-unique Tur\'an numbers. We provide preliminary results on this new variant on the classic problem.
