In graph theory, knowing the number of complete subgraphs with r vertices that a graph g has, limits the number of its complete subgraphs with s vertices, for s > r. A useful upper bound is provided by the Kruskal-Katona theorem, but this…

In this work, we give the sharp upper bound for the number of cliques in graphs with bounded odd circumferences. This generalized Tur\'an-type result is an extension of the celebrated Erd\H{o}s and Gallai theorem and a strengthening of…

Let r, s >= 2 be integers. Suppose that the number of blue r-cliques in a red/blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph K_n is known and fixed. What is the largest possible number of red s-cliques under this assumption? The well…

Suppose $0 < p \le \infty$. For a simple graph $G$ with a vertex-degree sequence $d_1, \dots, d_n$ satisfying $(d_1^p + \dots + d_n^p)^{1/p} \le C$, we prove asymptotically sharp upper bounds on the number of $t$-cliques in $G$. This result…

We determine new upper bounds for the clique numbers of strongly regular graphs in terms of their parameters. These bounds improve on the Delsarte bound for infinitely many feasible parameter tuples for strongly regular graphs, including…

The classical Kruskal-Katona theorem gives a tight upper bound for the size of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ as a function of the size of its shadow. Its stability version was obtained by Keevash who proved that if the size of…

In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in extremal problems concerning the enumeration of independent sets or cliques in graphs with specific constraints. For instance, the Kahn-Zhao theorem establishes an upper bound on the…

If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…

Barbieri recently showed that the finite graphs realising any given finite automorphism group have unbounded genus, answering a question of Cornwell et al. In this note we give a short proof of a stronger result: they have unbounded clique…

Recently Chase determined the maximum possible number of cliques of size $t$ in a graph on $n$ vertices with given maximum degree. Soon afterward, Chakraborti and Chen answered the version of this question in which we ask that the graph…

A graph $G$ is $\ell$-hamiltonian if for any linear forest $F$ of $G$ with $\ell$ edges, $F$ can be extended to a hamiltonian cycle of $G$. We give a sharp upper bound for the maximum number of cliques of a fixed size in a…

Given a set $X$ and a sufficiently large integer $t$, let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $k$-subsets of $X$. The Kruskal-Katona theorem states that if $|\mathcal{F}|\geq \binom{t}{k}$, then $|\partial_{k-1}\mathcal{F}|\geq\binom{t}{k-1}$. The…

The Gamma-Theta Conjecture states that if the domination number of a graph is equal to its eternal domination number, then it is also equal to its clique covering number. This conjecture is known to be true for several graph classes, such…

The aim of this work is to investigate the nonnegative signed domination number $\gamma^{NN}_s$ with emphasis on regular, ($r+1$)-clique-free graphs and trees. We give lower and upper bounds on $\gamma^{NN}_s$ for regular graphs and prove…

We prove that for $n>k\geq 3$, if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with chromatic number $k$ but any its proper subgraph has smaller chromatic number, then $G$ contains at most $n-k+3$ copies of cliques of size $k-1$. This answers a problem of…

Zykov's theorem shows that $r$-partite Tur\'{a}n graph uniquely has the maximum number of $K_t$ among all $n$-vertex $K_{r+1}$-free graphs for $2\le t\le r$. The clique tensor is a high-order extension of the adjacency matrix of a graph. Yu…
