Abstract

Let r ≥ 3 and (c/rr)r log n ≥ 1. If G is a graph of order n and its largest eigenvalue μ(G) satisfies then G contains a complete r-partite subgraph with r − 1 parts of size ⌊(c/rr)r log n⌋ and one part of size greater than n1−cr−1.

This result implies the Erdős–Stone–Bollobás theorem, the essential quantitative form of the Erdős–Stone theorem. Another easy consequence is that if F1, F2, . . . are r-chromatic graphs satisfying v(Fn) = o(log n), then
