A Turan-type problem on distances in graphs

Combinatorics 2012-08-09 v2

Abstract

We suggest a new type of problem about distances in graphs and make several conjectures. As a first step towards proving them, we show that for sufficiently large values of n and k, a graph on n vertices that has no three vertices at pairwise distance k has at most (n-k+1)^2/4 pairs of vertices at distance k.
