A biclique of a graph $G$ is an induced complete bipartite subgraph of $G$ such that neither part is empty. A star is a biclique of $G$ such that one part has exactly one vertex. The star graph of $G$ is the intersection graph of the…

Let $H$ be a graph on $h$ vertices. The number of induced copies of $H$ in a graph $G$ is denoted by $i_H(G)$. Let $i_H(n)$ denote the maximum of $i_H(G)$ taken over all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices. Let $f(n,h) = \Pi_{i}^h a_i$ where…

We show that every $n$-vertex planar graph is contained in the graph obtained from a fan by blowing up each vertex by a complete graph of order $O(\sqrt{n}\log^2 n)$. Equivalently, every $n$-vertex planar graph $G$ has a set $X$ of…

In this work we develop a theory of hierarchical clustering for graphs. Our modeling assumption is that graphs are sampled from a graphon, which is a powerful and general model for generating graphs and analyzing large networks. Graphons…

If $G$ is a more than one tough graph on $n$ vertices with $\delta\ge \frac{n}{2}-a$ for a given $a>0$ and $n$ is large enough then $G$ is hamiltonian.

Let $G$ be an induced subgraph of the hypercube $Q_k$ for some $k$. We show that if $|G|$ is a power of $2$ then, for sufficiciently large $n$, the vertex set of $Q_n$ can be partitioned into induced copies of $G$. This answers a question…

The blow-up lemma states that a system of super-regular pairs contains all bounded degree spanning graphs as subgraphs that embed into a corresponding system of complete pairs. This lemma has far-reaching applications in extremal…

We prove that the number of edges of a multigraph $G$ with $n$ vertices is at most $O(n^2\log n)$, provided that any two edges cross at most once, parallel edges are noncrossing, and the lens enclosed by every pair of parallel edges in $G$…

The Blow-up Lemma established by Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy, and Szemer\'edi in 1997 is an important tool for the embedding of spanning subgraphs of bounded maximum degree. Here we prove several generalisations of this result concerning the…

We show that for an infinitely many natural numbers $k$ there are $k$-uniform hypergraphs which admit a `rescaling phenomenon' as described in [9]. More precisely, let $\mathcal{A}(k,I, n)$ denote the class of $k$-graphs on $n$ vertices in…

Graph $G$ is $F$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of graph $F$ but any edge added to $G$ produces at least one copy of $F$. One common variant of saturation is to remove the former restriction: $G$ is $F$-semi-saturated if any edge added…

Let $G$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices such that all but at most $\varepsilon \binom{n}{\ell}$ $\ell$-subsets of vertices have degree at least $p \binom{n-\ell}{r-\ell}$. We show that $G$ contains a large subgraph with high…

A celebrated conjecture of Sidorenko and Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits states that, for all bipartite graphs $H$, quasirandom graphs contain asymptotically the minimum number of copies of $H$ taken over all graphs with the same order and edge…

The $k$-dominating graph $D_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined on the vertex set consisting of dominating sets of $G$ with cardinality at most $k$, two such sets being adjacent if they differ by either adding or deleting a single vertex. A…

We prove that for every complete multipartite graph $F$ there exist very dense graphs $G_n$ on $n$ vertices, namely with as many as ${n\choose 2}-cn$ edges for all $n$, for some constant $c=c(F)$, such that $G_n$ can be decomposed into…

In this note, extending some results of Erdos, Frankl, Rodl, Alexeev, Bollobas and Thomason we determine asymptotically the number of graphs which do not contain certain large subgraphs. In particular, if H_1,...,H_n,... are graphs with…

For each $\Delta>0$, we prove that there exists some $C=C(\Delta)$ for which the binomial random graph $G(n,C\log n/n)$ almost surely contains a copy of every tree with $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$. In doing so, we…

Let $H$ be an induced subgraph of the hypercube $Q_k$, for some $k$. We show that for some $c = c(H)$, the vertices of $Q_n$ can be partitioned into induced copies of $H$ and a remainder of at most $O(n^c)$ vertices. We also show that the…

A subgraph $H$ of a graph $G$ is isometric if the distances between vertices in $H$ coincide with the distances between the corresponding vertices in $G$. We show that for any integer $n\ge 1$, there is a graph on $3^{n+O(\log^2 n)}$…

Given a graph $H$ and an integer $p$, the {\it edge blow-up} of $H$, denoted as $H^{p+1}$, is the graph obtained from replacing each edge in $H$ by a clique of size $p+1$ where the new vertices of the cliques are all different. The…
