This is a companion paper to the paper "Hyperstability in the Erdos-Sos Conjecture". In that paper the following rough structure theorem was proved for graphs G containing no copy of a bounded degree tree T: from any such G, one can delete…

A graph $G$ is said to be Ramsey size-linear if $r(G,H) =O_G (e(H))$ for every graph $H$ with no isolated vertices. Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp observed that $K_4$ is not Ramsey size-linear, but each of its proper subgraphs is,…

The total domination number $\gamma_{t}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a smallest set $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that each vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The annihilation number $a(G)$ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that…

Let $B_k$ denote a book on $k+2$ vertices and $tB_k$ be $t$ vertex-disjoint $B_k$'s. Let $G$ be a connected graph with $n$ vertices and at most $n(1+\epsilon)$ edges, where $\epsilon$ is a constant depending on $k$ and $t$. In this paper,…

Local convergence of bounded degree graphs was introduced by Benjamini and Schramm. This result was extended further by Lyons to bounded average degree graphs. In this paper, we study the convergence of a random tree sequence where the…

The k-core of a graph G is the maximal subgraph of G having minimum degree at least k. In 1996, Pittel, Spencer and Wormald found the threshold $\lambda_c$ for the emergence of a non-trivial k-core in the random graph $G(n,\lambda/n)$, and…

The Graceful Tree Conjecture of Rosa from 1967 asserts that the vertices of each tree T of order n can be injectively labelled by using the numbers {1,2,...,n} in such a way that the absolute differences induced on the edges are pairwise…

We show that for every $\eta>0$ every sufficiently large $n$-vertex oriented graph D of minimum semidegree exceeding $(1 + \eta) k/2$ contains every balanced antidirected tree with $k$ edges and bounded maximum degree, if $k \ge \eta n$. In…

The strong thin tree conjecture states that every $k$-edge-connected graph $G$ contains an $O(1/k)$-thin spanning tree, meaning a spanning tree which contains at most an $O(1/k)$ fraction of the edges across each cut in $G$. This conjecture…

In a recent work, Keusch proved the so-called 1-2-3 Conjecture, raised by Karo\'nski, {\L}uczak, and Thomason in 2004: for every connected graph different from $K_2$, we can assign labels~$1,2,3$ to the edges so that no two adjacent…

The shrinking operation converts a hypergraph into a graph by choosing, from each hyperedge, two endvertices of a corresponding graph edge. A hypertree is a hypergraph which can be shrunk to a tree on the same vertex set. Klimo\v{s}ov\'{a}…

A graph G is Ramsey for H if every two-colouring of the edges of G contains a monochromatic copy of H. Two graphs H and H' are Ramsey-equivalent if every graph G is Ramsey for H if and only if it is Ramsey for H'. In this paper, we study…

Luo, Tian and Wu conjectured in 2022 that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $X$ and $Y$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with $\delta(G) \geq k + t$, where $t = \max\{|X|,|Y |\}$, contains a subtree $T' \cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$…

For given graphs G1 and G2 the Ramsey number R(G1,G2), is the smallest positive integer n such that each blue-red edge coloring of the complete graph Kn contains a blue copy of G1 or a red copy of G2. In 1983, Erdos conjectured that there…
