The Erd\H{o}s-S\'{o}s Conjecture states that every graph with average degree more than $k-2$ contains all trees of order $k$ as subgraphs. In this paper, we consider a variation of the above conjecture: studying the maximum size of an…

We prove that for every ${\gamma > 0}$ there exists $n_0 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that for every ${n \geq n_0}$ any family of up to $\lfloor{n^{\frac12+\gamma}}\rfloor$ trees having at most $(1-\gamma)n$ vertices in each bipartition class can…

We will show that for $\alpha>0$ there is $n_0$ such that if $G$ is a graph on $n\geq n_0$ vertices such that $\alpha n< \delta(G)< (n-1)/2$, then for every $n_1+n_2+\cdots +n_l= \delta(G)$, $G$ contains a disjoint union of…

We prove for every graph H there exists a>0 such that, for every graph G with at least two vertices, if no induced subgraph of G is a subdivision of H, then either some vertex of G has at least a|G| neighbours, or there are two disjoint…

The Bollob\'as--Nikiforov conjecture asserts that for any graph $G \neq K_n$ with $m$ edges and clique number $\omega(G)$, \[ \lambda_1^2(G) + \lambda_2^2(G) \;\leq\; 2\!\left(1 - \frac{1}{\omega(G)}\right)m, \] where $\lambda_1(G) \geq…

Bollob\'as and Nikiforov conjectured that for any graph $G \neq K_n$ with $m$ edges \[ \lambda_1^2+\lambda_2^2\le \bigg( 1-\frac{1}{\omega(G)}\bigg)2m\] where $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ denote the two largest eigenvalues of the adjacency…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi shows that every large $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+\gamma)n$ contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We generalised this result to loose spanning…

We give new decomposition theorems for classes of graphs that can be transduced in first-order logic from classes of sparse graphs -- more precisely, from classes of bounded expansion and from nowhere dense classes. In both cases, the…

The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general. We prove that every…

We ask the question, which oriented trees $T$ must be contained as subgraphs in every finite directed graph of sufficiently large minimum out-degree. We formulate the following simple condition: all vertices in $T$ of in-degree at least $2$…

We prove that there is $c>0$ such that for all sufficiently large $n$, if $T_1,\dots,T_n$ are any trees such that $T_i$ has $i$ vertices and maximum degree at most $cn/\log n$, then $\{T_1,\dots,T_n\}$ packs into $K_n$. Our main result…

The famous Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture from 1973 states, in an equivalent form, that for any fixed $\delta>0$ and integer $k\geq 3$ every sufficiently large linear $3$-uniform hypergraph of size $\delta n^2$ contains some $k$ edges…

Given a connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and a positive integer $k\le n$, a subgraph of $G$ on $k$ vertices is called a $k$-subgraph in $G$. We design combinatorial approximation algorithms for finding a connected $k$-subgraph in $G$…

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 celebrated result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy, and Szemer\'edi states that for any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists $0<c<1$, such that for all sufficiently large $n$, every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $\delta(G)\geq(1/2+\varepsilon)n$ contains…

The Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture says that, for every graph $H$, there exists $c>0$ such that every $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices has a clique or stable set of size at least $n^c$. In this paper we are concerned with the case when $H$ is a…

Let $f(n,k)$ be the minimum number of edges that must be removed from some complete geometric graph $G$ on $n$ points, so that there exists a tree on $k$ vertices that is no longer a planar subgraph of $G$. In this paper we show that…

We show that every cubic graph on $n$ vertices contains a spanning subgraph in which the number of vertices of each degree deviates from $\frac{n}{4}$ by at most $\frac{1}{2}$, up to three exceptions. This resolves the conjecture of Alon…

The conjecture of Bollob\'as and Koml\'os, recently proved by B\"ottcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Math. Ann. 343(1), 175--205, 2009], implies that for any $\gamma>0$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices with bounded degree and…

A graph is "$H$-free" if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. A conjecture of Conlon, Fox and Sudakov states that for every graph $H$, there exists $s>0$ such that in every $H$-free graph with $n>1$ vertices, either some vertex has…
