Title
On k-saturated graphs with restrictions on the degrees
Abstract
A graph G is called k-saturated, where k 3 is an integer, if G is Kk-free but the addition of any edge produces a Kk (we denote by Kk a complete graph on k vertices). We investigate k-saturated graphs, and in particular the function Fk(n;D) dened as the minimal number of edges in a k-saturated graph on n vertices having maximal degree at most D. This investigation was suggested by Hajnal, and the case k = 3 was studied by Furedi and Seress. The following are some of our results. For k = 4, we prove that F4(n;D) = 4n 15 for n > n0 and 2n 1 3 D n 2. For arbitrary k, we show that the limit limn!1Fk(n;cn)=n exists for all 0 < c 1, except maybe for some values of c contained in a sequence ci! 0. We also determine the asymptotic behaviour of this limit for c! 0. We construct, for all k and all suciently large
