Title: More results on Ramsey-Turán type problems. (In English)
Source: Combinatorica 3, 69-81 (1983).
Review: In [Combinat. Struct. Appl., Proc. Calgary Internat. Conf. Calgary 1969, 407-410 (1970; Zbl 253.05145)] V.T.Sós raised a general scheme of new problems that can be considered as common generalizations of the problems treated in the classical results of Ramsey and Turán. This paper is a continuation of a sequence of papers on this subject.
One of the main results is the following: Given k \geq 2 and \epsilon > 0, let Gn be a sequence of graphs of order n size at least (½)(\frac{3k-5}{3k-2}+\epsilon)n2 edges such that the cardinality of the largest independent set in Gn is o(n). Let H be any graph of arboricity at most k. Then there exists an n0 such that all Gn with n > n0 contain a copy of H. This result is best possible in the case H = K2k.
