We consider a variation of the spectral sparsification problem where we are required to keep a subgraph of the original graph. Formally, given a union of two weighted graphs $G$ and $W$ and an integer $k$, we are asked to find a $k$-edge…

Let $H=(V,E)$ be a hypergraph, where $V$ is a set of vertices and $E$ is a set of non-empty subsets of $V$ called edges. If all edges of $H$ have the same cardinality $r$, then $H$ is a $r$-uniform hypergraph; if $E$ consists of all…

We study off-diagonal Ramsey numbers $r(H, K_n^{(k)})$ of $k$-uniform hypergraphs, where $H$ is a fixed linear $k$-uniform hypergraph and $K_n^{(k)}$ is complete on $n$ vertices. Recently, Conlon et al.\ disproved the folklore conjecture…

A graph is a $k$-threshold graph with thresholds $\theta_1, \theta_2, \dots, \theta_k$ if we can assign a real number $r_v$ to each vertex $v$ such that for any two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$, $uv$ is an edge if and only if the number of…

We study the isomorphism problem for random hypergraphs. We show that it is solvable in polynomial time for the binomial random $k$-uniform hypergraph $H_{n,p;k}$, for a wide range of $p$. We also show that it is solvable w.h.p. for random…

The upper tail problem in a random graph asks to estimate the probability that the number of copies of some fixed subgraph in an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph exceeds its expectation by some constant factor. There has been much exciting…

For given integers $k$ and $\ell$ with $0<\ell< {k \choose 2}$, Alon, Hefetz, Krivelevich and Tyomkyn formulated the following conjecture: When sampling a $k$-vertex subset uniformly at random from a very large graph $G$, then the…

For any set $\Omega$ of non-negative integers such that $\{0,1\}\subseteq \Omega$ and $\{0,1\}\ne \Omega$, we consider a random $\Omega$-$k$-tree ${\sf G}_{n,k}$ that is uniformly selected from all connected $k$-trees of $(n+k)$ vertices…

For $k\mid n$ let $Comb_{n,k}$ denote the tree consisting of an $(n/k)$-vertex path with disjoint $k$-vertex paths beginning at each of its vertices. An old conjecture says that for any $k=k(n)$ the threshold for the random graph $G(n,p)$…

Recently, variants of many classical extremal theorems have been proved in the random environment. We, complementing existing results, extend the Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem in random graphs. In particular, we determine, up to a constant…

Estimating the discrepancy of the hypergraph of all arithmetic progressions in the set $[N]=\{1,2,\hdots,N\}$ was one of the famous open problems in combinatorial discrepancy theory for a long time. An extension of this classical hypergraph…

We show that, in almost every $n$-vertex random directed graph process, a copy of every possible $n$-vertex oriented cycle will appear strictly before a directed Hamilton cycle does, except of course for the directed cycle itself.…

A well-known theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai asserts that a graph with no path of length $k$ contains at most $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)n$ edges. Recently Gy\H{o}ri, Katona and Lemons gave an extension of this result to hypergraphs by determining…

Let a_1,...,a_k satisfy a_1+...+a_k=1 and suppose a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices satisfies the following property; in any partition of its vertices into k sets A_1,...,A_k of sizes a_1*n,...,a_k*n, the number of edges intersecting…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a connected graph, and let $T$ in $V$ be a subset of vertices. An orientation of $G$ is called $T$-odd if any vertex $v \in V$ has odd in-degree if and only if it is in $T$. Finding a T -odd orientation of G can be…

Many NP-complete constraint satisfaction problems appear to undergo a "phase transition'' from solubility to insolubility when the constraint density passes through a critical threshold. In all such cases it is easy to derive upper bounds…

Orienting the edges of an undirected graph such that the resulting digraph satisfies some given constraints is a classical problem in graph theory, with multiple algorithmic applications. In particular, an $st$-orientation orients each edge…

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…
