A seminal result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy, and Szemer\'edi states that any n-vertex graph G with minimum degree at least (1/2 + {\alpha})n contains every n-vertex tree T of bounded degree. Recently, Pham, Sah, Sawhney, and Simkin extended…

We prove that, if $m$ is sufficiently large, every graph on $m+1$ vertices that has a universal vertex and minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{2m}{3} \rfloor$ contains each tree $T$ with $m$ edges as a subgraph. Our result confirms, for…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'{o}s Conjecture states that if $G$ is a simple graph of order $n$ with average degree more than $k-2,$ then $G$ contains every tree of order $k$. In this paper, we prove that Erd\H{o}s-S\'{o}s Conjecture is true for…

For $k\mid n$ let $Comb_{n,k}$ denote the tree consisting of an $(n/k)$-vertex path with disjoint $k$-vertex paths beginning at each of its vertices. An old conjecture says that for any $k=k(n)$ the threshold for the random graph $G(n,p)$…

An old conjecture of Ringel states that every tree with $m$ edges decomposes the complete graph $K_{2m+1}$. The best known lower bound for the order of a complete graph which admits a decomposition by every given tree with $m$ edges is…

A vertex of degree one is called an end-vertex, and an end-vertex of a tree is called a leaf. A tree with at most $k$ leaves is called a $k$-ended tree. For a positive integer $k$, let $t_k$ be the order of a largest $k$-ended tree. Let…

The Tree Decomposition Conjecture by Bar\'at and Thomassen states that for every tree $T$ there exists a natural number $k(T)$ such that the following holds: If $G$ is a $k(T)$-edge-connected simple graph with size divisible by the size of…

Let $k$ and $\ell$ be positive integers. We prove that if $1 \leq \ell \leq o_k(k^{6/5})$, then in every large enough graph $G$, the fraction of $k$-vertex subsets that induce exactly $\ell$ edges is at most $1/e + o_k(1)$. Together with a…

A graph $H$ is common if its Ramsey multiplicity, i.e., the minimum number of monochromatic copies of $H$ contained in any $2$-edge-coloring of $K_n$, is asymptotically the same as the number of monochromatic copies in the random…

For given integers $k$ and $\ell$ with $0<\ell< {k \choose 2}$, Alon, Hefetz, Krivelevich and Tyomkyn formulated the following conjecture: When sampling a $k$-vertex subset uniformly at random from a very large graph $G$, then the…
