The Kruskal-Katona Theorem for Graphs

Combinatorics 2018-12-31 v2

Abstract

In graph theory, knowing the number of complete subgraphs with r vertices that a graph g has, limits the number of its complete subgraphs with s vertices, for s > r. A useful upper bound is provided by the Kruskal-Katona theorem, but this bound is often not tight. In this note, we add to the known cases where this bound is tight and also investigate cases where it is not. Finally we look at a useful technique for actually finding the numbers of complete subgraphs of a graph.
