Weighted Tur\'an theorems with applications to Ramsey-Tur\'an type of problems

Combinatorics 2026-02-17 v1

Abstract

We study extensions of Tur\'an Theorem in edge-weighted settings. A particular case of interest is when constraints on the weight of an edge come from the order of the largest clique containing it. These problems are motivated by Ramsey-Tur\'an type problems. Some of our proofs are based on the method of graph Lagrangians, while the other proofs use flag algebras. Using these results, we prove several new upper bounds on the Ramsey-Tur\'an density of cliques. Other applications of our results are in a recent paper of Balogh, Chen, McCourt and Murley.
