Title
On the number of K4-saturating edges.
Abstract
Let G be a K4-free graph; an edge in its complement is a K4-saturating edge if the addition of this edge to G creates a copy of K4. Erdős and Tuza conjectured that for any n-vertex K4-free graph G with ⌊n2/4⌋+1 edges, one can find at least (1+o(1))n216 K4-saturating edges. We construct a graph with only 2n233 K4-saturating edges. Furthermore, we prove that it is best possible, i.e., one can always find at least (1+o(1))2n233 K4-saturating edges in an n-vertex K4-free graph with ⌊n2/4⌋+1 edges.
