Abstract: The p-spectral radius of a graph Gof order n is defined for any real number pgeq1 as [ lambda^{left( p ight) }left( G ight) =maxleft{ 2sum_{{i,j}in Eleft( G ight) }x_{i}x_{j}:x_{1},ldots,x_{n}inmathbb{R} ext{ and }leftvert x_{1} ightvert ^{p}+cdots+leftvert x_{n} ightvert ^{p}=1 ight} . ] The most remarkable feature of lambdaleft(pight) is that it seamlessly joins several other graph parameters, e.g., lambdaleft(1ight) is the Lagrangian, lambdaleft(2ight) is the spectral radius and lambdaleft(inftyight)/2 is the number of edges. This paper presents solutions to some extremal problems about lambdaleft(pight), which are common generalizations of corresponding edge and spectral extremal problems. Let Trleft(night) be the r-partite Tur'{a}n graph of order n. Two of the main results in the paper are: (I) Let rgeq2 and p>1. If G is a Kr+1-free graph of order n, then [ lambda^{left( p ight) }left( G ight) <lambda^{left( p ight) }left( T_{r}left( n ight) ight) , ] unless G=Trleft(night). (II) Let rgeq2 and p>1. If Gis a graph of order n, with [ lambda^{left( p ight) }left( G ight) >lambda^{left( p ight) }left( T_{r}left( n ight) ight) , ] then G has an edge contained in at least cnr1 cliques of order r+1, where c is a positive number depending only on p and r.
