Abstract

Let F\mathscr{F} be a family of graphs. A graph GG is F\mathscr{F}-free if GG does not contain any FFF\in \mathcal{F} as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number ex(n,F)ex(n, \mathscr{F}) is the maximum number of edges in an nn-vertex F\mathscr{F}-free graph. Let MsM_{s} be the matching consisting of s s independent edges. Recently, Alon and Frank determined the exact value of ex(n,{Km,Ms+1})ex(n,\{K_{m},M_{s+1}\}). Gerbner obtained several results about ex(n,{F,Ms+1})ex(n,\{F,M_{s+1}\}) when FF satisfies certain proportions. In this paper, we determine the exact value of ex(n,{Kl,t,Ms+1})ex(n,\{K_{l,t},M_{s+1}\}) when s,ns, n are large enough for every 3lt3\leq l\leq t. When nn is large enough, we also show that ex(n,{K2,2,Ms+1})=n+(s2)s2ex(n,\{K_{2,2}, M_{s+1}\})=n+{s\choose 2}-\left\lceil\frac{s}{2}\right\rceil for s12s\ge 12 and ex(n,{K2,t,Ms+1})=n+(t1)(s2)s2ex(n,\{K_{2,t},M_{s+1}\})=n+(t-1){s\choose 2}-\left\lceil\frac{s}{2}\right\rceil when t3t\ge 3 and ss is large enough.
