The Turan graph is the complete multipartite graph on vertices with parts whose sizes differ by at most one.
For , put , , and . Every graph on vertices satisfiesThus an edge count forces at least triangles in a graph. This is an exact finite bound, with the rounding in the Turan graph retained. To prove it, use edge-triangle symmetrization. The inequality allows merging the two smallest classes when there are at least four classes. With three classes, fixing the middle class makes the objective affine in the product of the other two sizes; either merge them or balance them. Only and need remain.

The Turán graph, denoted as \( T(n, r) \), is a specific type of graph used in extremal graph theory, which studies the conditions under which graphs contain certain subgraphs. The Turán graph is designed to be the largest \( K_{r+1} \)-free graph (a graph that does not contain a complete subgraph of \( r+1 \) vertices) with \( n \) vertices.
