Abstract: For an edge-colored graph, a subgraph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colors. We show that if G is an edge-colored graph of order n and size m using c colors on its edges, and for a non-negative integer k, then G contains at least k rainbow triangles. For ngeq3k, we show that this result is best possible, and we completely characterize the class of edge-colored graphs for which this result is sharp. Furthermore, we show that an edge-colored graph G contains at least k rainbow triangles if where dGc(v) denotes the number of distinct colors incident to a vertex v. Finally we characterize the edge-colored graphs without a rainbow clique of size at least six that maximize the sum of edges and colors m+c. Our results answer two questions of Fujita, Ning, Xu and Zhang [On sufficient conditions for rainbow cycles in edge-colored graph, arXiv:1705.03675, 2017]
