By the theorem of Mantel (1907) it is known that a graph with vertices and edges must contain a triangle. A theorem of Erdős gives a strengthening: there are not only one, but at least triangles. We give a further improvement: if there is no vertex contained by all triangles then there are at least of them. There are some natural generalizations when complete graphs are considered (rather than triangles), the graph has extra edges (not only one) or it is supposed that there are no vertices such that every triangle contains one of them. We were not able to prove these generalizations, they are posed as conjectures.

没有公共顶点时,三角形的数量更多
根据Mantel(1907)的定理,已知 顶点和 边必须包含三角形。埃尔德斯定理给出了一种加强:不仅存在一个定理,而且至少存在一个定理三角形。我们给出了进一步的改进:如果所有三角形都没有包含顶点,那么至少存在其中。有一些自然的概括 考虑完整的图形(而不是三角形), 该图有 额外的边缘(不仅是一个)或 假设没有 顶点,使得每个三角形都包含其中一个。我们无法证明这些概括,它们被当作推测。
