Abstract
Given a family of graphs ℌ, the extremal number ex(n, ℌ) is the largest m for which there exists a graph with n vertices and m edges containing no graph from the family ℌ as a subgraph. We show that for every rational number r between 1 and 2, there is a family of graphs ℌ_r such that ex (n, ℌ_r) = Θ(n^r). This solves a longstanding problem in the area of extremal graph theory.
