For a real c \geq 1 and an integer n, let f(n,c) denote the maximum integer f so that every graph on n vertices contains an induced subgraph on at least f vertices in which the maximum degree is at most c times the minimum degree. Thus, in…

Given a set $X$ and an integer $t$, let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $k$-subsets of $X$. The Kruskal--Katona theorem states that if $|\mathcal{F}|\geq \binom{t}{k}$, then $|\partial_\ell\mathcal{F}|\geq\binom{t}{\ell}$. The minimum degree…

A seminal result of Hajnal and Szemer\'{e}di states that if a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices has minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge (r-1)n/r$ for some integer $r \ge 2$, then $G$ contains a $K_r$-factor, assuming $r$ divides $n$. Extremal examples…

A fundamental theorem of Wilson states that, for every graph $F$, every sufficiently large $F$-divisible clique has an $F$-decomposition. Here a graph $G$ is $F$-divisible if $e(F)$ divides $e(G)$ and the greatest common divisor of the…

For integers $r,t\geq2$ and $n\geq1$ let $f_r(t,n)$ be the minimum, over all factorizations of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph of order $n$ into $t$ factors $H_1,\dots,H_t$, of $\sum_{i=1}^tc(H_i)$ where $c(H_i)$ is the number of…

A fractional matching of a graph $G$ is a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow [0, 1]$ such that for any $v\in V(G)$, $\sum_{e\in E_{G}(v)}f(e)\leq1$, where $E_{G}(v)=\{e\in E(G): e~ \mbox{is incident with} ~v~\mbox{in}~G\}$.The fractional matching…

A classical result by Hajnal and Szemer\'edi from 1970 determines the minimal degree conditions necessary to guarantee for a graph to contain a $K_r$-factor. Namely, any graph on $n$ vertices, with minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is said to be $k$-factor-critical for integers $1\leq k < n$, if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. $1$- and $2$-factor-critical graphs are the well-known factor-critical and…

Given integer $k$ and a $k$-graph $F$, let $t_{k-1}(n,F)$ be the minimum integer $t$ such that every $k$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with codegree at least $t$ contains an $F$-factor. For integers $k\geq3$ and $0\leq\ell\leq k-1$, let…

For two graphs $G$ and $H$, let $r(G,H)$ and $r_*(G,H)$ denote the Ramsey number and star-critical Ramsey number of $G$ versus $H$, respectively. In 1996, Li and Rousseau proved that $r(K_{m},F_{t,n})=tn(m-1)+1$ for $m\geq 3$ and…

Our main result is that every graph $G$ on $n\ge 10^4r^3$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge (1 - 1 / 10^4 r^{3/2} ) n$ has a fractional $K_r$-decomposition. Combining this result with recent work of Barber, K\"uhn, Lo and Osthus…

Given positive integers $k$ and $\ell$ we write $G \rightarrow (K_k,K_\ell)$ if every 2-colouring of the edges of $G$ yields a red copy of $K_k$ or a blue copy of $K_\ell$ and we denote by $R(k)$ the minimum $n$ such that $K_n\rightarrow…

For a given pair of two graphs $(F,H)$, let $R(F,H)$ be the smallest positive integer $r$ such that for any graph $G$ of order $r$, either $G$ contains $F$ as a subgraph or the complement of $G$ contains $H$ as a subgraph. Baskoro, Broersma…

Let K_4^3-2e denote the hypergraph consisting of two triples on four points. For an integer n, let t(n, K_4^3-2e) denote the smallest integer d so that every 3-uniform hypergraph G of order n with minimum pair-degree \delta_2(G) \geq d…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called a \emph{$k$-threshold graph} with \emph{thresholds} $\theta_1<\theta_2<...<\theta_k$ if we can assign a real number $r(v)$ to each vertex $v\in V$, such that for any $u,v\in V$, we have $uv\in E$ if and only if…

A graph of order $n$ is said to be $k$-\emph{factor-critical} $(0\le k<n)$ if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph $G$ is \emph{minimal} if $G-e$ is not $k$-factor-critical…

Let $k\geq 3$. Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, the minimum codegree $\delta(H)$ is the largest $d\in\mathbb{N}$ such that every $(k-1)$-set of $V(H)$ is contained in at least $d$ edges. Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$, the codegree…

A $K_r$-factor of a graph $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint $r$-cliques covering $V(G)$. We prove the following algorithmic version of the classical Hajnal--Szemer\'edi Theorem in graph theory, when $r$ is considered as a constant.…

For graphs $F$ and $H$, let $i(F)$ denote the inducibility of $F$ and let $i_H(F)$ denote the inducibility of $F$ over $H$-free graphs. We prove that for almost all graphs $F$ on a given number of vertices, $i_{K_k}(F)$ attains infinitely…

For positive integers $n>k>t$ let $\binom{[n]}{k}$ denote the collection of all $k$-subsets of the standard $n$-element set $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Subsets of $\binom{[n]}{k}$ are called $k$-graphs. A $k$-graph $\mathcal{F}$ is called…
