For a given graph $H$, its subdivisions carry the same topological structure. The existence of $H$-subdivisions within a graph $G$ has deep connections with topological, structural and extremal properties of $G$. One prominent example of…

Z-mapping graph is a balanced bipartite graph $G$ of a digraph $D$ by split each vertex of $D$ into a pair of vertices of $G$. Based on the property of the $G$, it is proved that if $D$ is strong connected and $G$ is Hamiltonian, then $D$…

A connected subgraph of a graph is isometric if it preserves distances. In this short note, we provide counterexamples to several variants of the following general question: When a graph $G$ is edge covered by connected isometric subgraphs…

Given a nonnegative integer weight $f(v)$ for each vertex $v$ in a multigraph $G$, an {\it $f$-bounded subgraph} of $G$ is a multigraph $H$ contained in $G$ such that $d_H(v)\le f(v)$ for all $v\in V(G)$. Using Tutte's $f$-Factor Theorem,…

A perfect $K_r$-tiling in a graph $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of the clique $K_r$ in $G$ covering every vertex of $G$. The famous Hajnal--Szemer\'edi theorem determines the minimum degree threshold for forcing a perfect…

An immersion of a graph $H$ into a graph $G$ is a one-to-one mapping $f:V(H) \to V(G)$ and a collection of edge-disjoint paths in $G$, one for each edge of $H$, such that the path $P_{uv}$ corresponding to edge $uv$ has endpoints $f(u)$ and…

In this paper we extend a classical theorem of Corr\'adi and Hajnal into the setting of sparse random graphs. We show that if $p(n) \gg (\log n / n)^{1/2}$, then asymptotically almost surely every subgraph of $G(n,p)$ with minimum degree at…

We solve the existence problem for $F$-designs for arbitrary $r$-uniform hypergraphs~$F$. This implies that given any $r$-uniform hypergraph~$F$, the trivially necessary divisibility conditions are sufficient to guarantee a decomposition of…

In 1984, Fan gave a sufficient condition involving maximum degree of every pair of vertices at distance two for a graph to be Hamiltonian. Motivated by Fan's result, we say that an induced subgraph $H$ of a graph $G$ is $f$-heavy if for…

Over recent years there has been much interest in both Tur\'an and Ramsey properties of vertex ordered graphs. In this paper we initiate the study of embedding spanning structures into vertex ordered graphs. In particular, we introduce a…

We present a tight extremal threshold for the existence of Hamilton cycles in graphs with large minimum degree and without a large ``bipartite hole`` (two disjoint sets of vertices with no edges between them). This result extends Dirac's…

We consider a robust variant of Dirac-type problems in $k$-uniform hypergraphs. For instance, we prove that if $H$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph with minimum codegree at least $(1/2 + \gamma )n$, $\gamma >0$, and $n$ is sufficiently large,…

We study Hamilton cycles and perfect matchings in a uniform attachment graph. In this random graph, vertices are added sequentially, and when a vertex $t$ is created, it makes $k$ independent and uniform choices from $\{1,\dots,t-1\}$ and…

Dirac (1952) proved that every connected graph of order $n>2k+1$ with minimum degree more than $k$ contains a path of length at least $2k+1$. Erd\H{o}s and Gallai (1959) showed that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with average degree more than…
