Title
A generalization of the Motzkin-Straus theorem to hypergraphs
Abstract
In1965,MotzkinandStrausestablishedaremarkableconnectionbetween the global maxima of the Lagrangian of a graph G over the standard simplex and the clique number of G. In this paper, we provide a generalization of the Motzkin-Straus theorem to k-uniform hypergraphs (k-graphs). Specifically, given a k-graph G ,w e exhibit a family of (parameterized) homogeneous polynomials whose local (global) minimizers are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with maximal (maximum) cliques of G.
