We consider extremal problems for algebraic graphs , that is, graphs whose vertices correspond to vectors in ℝ d , where two vectors are connected by an edge according to an algebraic condition. We also derive a lower bound on the rank of the adjacency matrix of a general abstract graph using the number of 4‐cycles and a parameter which measures how close the graph is to being regular. From this, we derive a rank bound for the adjacency matrix A of any simple graph with n vertices and E edges which does not contain a copy of . © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
