Woodall proved that for a graph $G$ of order $n\geq 2k+3$ where $k\geq 0$ is an integer, if $e(G)\geq \binom{n-k-1}{2}+\binom{k+2}{2}+1$ then $G$ contains a $C_{\ell}$ for each $\ell\in [3,n-k]$. In this article, we prove a stability result…

Let $G$ be a finite connected graph, and let $\rho$ be the spectral radius of its universal cover. For example, if $G$ is $k$-regular then $\rho=2\sqrt{k-1}$. We show that for every $r$, there is an $r$-covering (a.k.a. an $r$-lift) of $G$…

Let $F$ be an $(r+1)$-color critical graph with $r\geq 2$, that is, $\chi(F)=r+1$ and there is an edge $e$ in $F$ such that $\chi(F-e)=r$. Gerbner recently conjectured that every $n$-vertex maximal $F$-free graph with at least…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices, with complement $\overline{G}$. The spectral gap of the transition probability matrix of a random walk on $G$ is used to estimate how fast the random walk becomes stationary. We prove that the larger…

For a graph G and integer r\geq 1 we denote the collection of independent r-sets of G by I^{(r)}(G). If v\in V(G) then I_v^{(r)}(G) is the collection of all independent r-sets containing v. A graph G, is said to be r-EKR, for r\geq 1, iff…

Half a century ago, Bollob\'{a}s and Erd\H{o}s [Bull. London Math. Soc. 5 (1973)] proved that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $e(G)\ge (1- \frac{1}{k} + \varepsilon )\frac{n^2}{2}$ edges contains a blowup $K_{k+1}[t]$ with…

The classical K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem states that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with no copy of $K_{s,t}$ as a subgraph, then the number of edges in $G$ is at most $O(n^{2-1/s})$. We prove that if one forbids $K_{s,t}$ as an…

A well-known result of Mantel asserts that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph $G$ has at most $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges. Moreover, Erd\H{o}s proved that if $G$ is further non-bipartite, then $e(G)\le \lfloor {(n-1)^2}/{4}\rfloor +1$.…

In this article, we discuss when one can extend an r-regular graph to an r + 1 regular by adding edges. Different conditions on the num- ber of vertices n and regularity r are developed. We derive an upper bound of r, depending on n, for…

Given a graph $F$, a hypergraph is called a Berge-$F$ if it can be obtained by expanding each edge of $F$ into a hyperedge containing it. Let $M_{k}$ denote the matching of size $k$. Kang, Ni, and Shan [12] determined the Tur\'an number of…
