We show that the vertices and edges of a $d$-dimensional grid graph $G=(V,E)$ ($d\geqslant 2$) can be labeled with the integers from $\{1,\ldots,\lvert V\rvert\}$ and $\{1,\ldots,\lvert E\rvert\}$, respectively, in such a way that for every…
We show that for every $r \ge 2$ there exists $\epsilon_r > 0$ such that any $r$-uniform hypergraph with $m$ edges and maximum vertex degree $o(\sqrt{m})$ contains a set of at most $(\frac{1}{2} - \epsilon_r)m$ edges the removal of which…
Given a graph $H$, a graph is $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. We continue to study the topic of "extremal" planar graphs, that is, how many edges can an $H$-free planar graph on $n$ vertices have? We define…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a 3-graph on $n$ vertices. The matching number $\nu(\mathcal{H})$ is defined as the maximum number of disjoint edges in $\mathcal{H}$. The generalized triangle $F_5$ is a 3-graph on the vertex set $\{a,b,c,d,e\}$ with…
Given a matching $M$ in the hypercube $Q^n$, the \emph{profile} of $M$ is the vector $\boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,\ldots, x_n) \in \mathbb{N}^n$ such that $M$ contains $x_i$ edges whose endpoints differ in the $i$th coordinate. If $M$ is a perfect…
We determine the maximum number of edges in a $K_4$-minor-free $n$-vertex graph of girth $g$, when $g = 5$ or $g$ is even. We argue that there are many different $n$-vertex extremal graphs, if $n$ is even and $g$ is odd.
For a graph family $\mathcal F$, let $\mathrm{ex}(n,\mathcal F)$ and $\mathrm{spex}(n,\mathcal F)$ denote the maximum number of edges and maximum spectral radius of an $n$-vertex $\mathcal F$-free graph, respectively, and let…
For $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, positive integer $n$, and $d > 0$, let $G(S^n, d)$ be the graph whose vertex set is $S^n$ where any two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are Euclidean distance $d$ apart. The primary question we will…
A cycle of length $t$ in a hypergraph is an alternating sequence $v_1,e_1,v_2\dots,v_t,e_t$ of distinct vertices $v_i$ and distinct edges $e_i$ so that $\{v_i,v_{i+1}\}\subseteq e_i$ (with $v_{t+1}:=v_1$). Let $\lambda K_n^h$ be the…
Ore's Theorem states that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph and every pair of non-adjacent vertices has degree sum at least $n$, then $G$ is Hamiltonian. A $[3]$-graph is a hypergraph in which every edge contains at most $3$ vertices. In this…
The main purpose of this paper is to prove the uniqueness of a graph attaining the maximum of the number of independent sets over all $k$-regular graphs on $n$ vertices for $2k|n$.
For two graphs $G$ and $F$, the extremal number of $F$ in $G$, denoted by {ex}$(G,F)$, is the maximum number of edges in a spanning subgraph of $G$ not containing $F$ as a subgraph. Determining {ex}$(K_n,F)$ for a given graph $F$ is a…
The Tur\'an hypergraph problem asks to find the maximum number of $r$-edges in a $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a clique of size $a$. When $r=2$, i.e., for graphs, the answer is well-known and can be found in…
Turan's Theorem states that every graph of a certain edge density contains a complete graph $K^k$ and describes the unique extremal graphs. We give a similar Theorem for l-partite graphs. For large l, we find the minimal edge density…
For a graph $G$, its spectral radius is the largest eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix. A fan $H_{\ell}$ is a graph obtained by connecting a single vertex to all vertices of a path of order $\ell\geq4$. Let ${\rm SPEX(n,H_{\ell})}$ be the…
Let $d \geq 1$ and $s \leq 2^d$ be nonnegative integers. For a subset $A$ of vertices of the hypercube $Q_n$ and $n\geq d$, let $\lambda(n,d,s,A)$ denote the fraction of subcubes $Q_d$ of $Q_n$ that contain exactly $s$ vertices of $A$. Let…
Many authors have investigated edge decompositions of graphs by the edge sets of isomorphic copies of special subgraphs. For $q$- dimensional hypercubes $Q_q$ various researchers have done this for cer- tain trees, paths, and cycles. In…
A good edge-labelling of a simple, finite graph is a labelling of its edges with real numbers such that, for every ordered pair of vertices (u,v), there is at most one nondecreasing path from u to v. In this paper we prove that any graph on…
The $n$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_n$ has as vertices all subsets of $\{1, \ldots, n\}$, and an edge between any two sets that differ in a single element. The Ruskey-Savage conjecture states that every matching of the $n$-dimensional…
In this note, we fix a graph $H$ and ask into how many vertices can each vertex of a clique of size $n$ can be "split" such that the resulting graph is $H$-free. Formally: A graph is an $(n,k)$-graph if its vertex sets is a pairwise…
