Abstract
For a graph whose edges are coloured blue or red, the -semi-inducibility problem asks for the maximum, over all graphs of given order , of the number of injections from the vertex set of into the vertex set of that send red (resp. blue) edges of to edges (resp. non-edges) of . We consider all possible 4-vertex non-complete graphs and essentially resolve all remaining cases except when is the 3-edge path coloured blue-blue-red in this order (or is equivalent to this case). Some of our proofs are computer-generated, using the flag algebra method of Razborov.
