The basic statement of extremal graph theory is Mantel’s theorem, proved in 1907, which states that any graph on n vertices with no triangle contains at most n2/4 edges. This is clearly best possible, as one may partition the set of n vertices into two sets of size bn/2c and dn/2e and form the complete bipartite graph between them. This graph has no triangles and bn2/4c edges. As a warm-up, we will give a number of different proofs of this simple and fundamental theorem.
