Abstract

Let G be a graph with a clique number w. For 1jw, let kj be thenumber of complete subgraphs on j nodes. We show that . This isexact for complete balanced w-partite graphs and gives Turantheorem when j = 1. A coronally is w(8k329k23+3k316k32+9k23)/(4k3218k23. This new bound on the cliquenumber supercedes an earlier bound from Turan's theorem.
