In a series of three papers we develop an end space theory for digraphs. Here in the second paper we introduce the topological space $|D|$ formed by a digraph $D$ together with its ends and limit edges. We then characterise those digraphs…

In 1975, Erd\H{o}s asked for the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex graph can have if it does not contain two edge-disjoint cycles on the same vertex set. It is known that Tur\'an-type results can be used to prove an upper bound of…

Define a boundary point of a graph which is embedded in the Euclidean plane a vertex which is incident to only one edge. In this paper we consider graphs which are embedded in the Euclidean plane with a finite number of boundary points. The…

DeVos and Malekian gave a structural description of graphs avoiding an immersion of K_{3,3}, showing that all such graphs are composed over small edge-cuts from graphs with at most 8 vertices and from 3-regular planar graphs. We provide…

Considering regular graphs with every edge in a triangle we prove lower bounds for the number of triangles in such graphs. For r-regular graphs with r <= 5 we exhibit families of graphs with exactly that number of triangles and then…

Answering an open question from 2007, we construct infinite $k$-crossing-critical families of graphs that contain vertices of any prescribed odd degree, for any sufficiently large~$k$. To answer this question, we introduce several…

Consider a directed multigraph $D$ that is balanced (i.e., at each vertex, the indegree equals the outdegree). Let $A$ be its set of arcs. Fix an integer $k$. Let $s$ be a vertex of $D$. We show that the number of $k$-element subsets $B$ of…

We study large minors in small-set expanders. More precisely, we consider graphs with $n$ vertices and the property that every set of size at most $\alpha n / t$ expands by a factor of $t$, for some (constant) $\alpha > 0$ and large $t =…

A fundamental result in structural graph theory states that every graph with large average degree contains a large complete graph as a minor. We prove this result with the extra property that the minor is small with respect to the order of…

An oriented graph is a digraph that contains no 2-cycles, i.e., there is at most one arc between any two vertices. We show that every oriented graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with $\mathrm{deg}^+(x) +\mathrm{deg}^{-}(y)\geq…

We show that every 4-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and minimum pair degree at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a tight Hamiltonian cycle. This degree condition is asymptotically optimal.

Inspired by the work of Backelin on non-commutative correspondences to Macaulay's theorem of the growth of the Hilbert series of affine algebras, we study embedding dimension dependant versions of his degree 2 to degree 3 result. In…

For fixed large genus, we construct families of complete immersed minimal surfaces in R3 with four ends and dihedral symmetries. The families exist for all large genus and at an appropriate scale degenerate to the plane.

We show that every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices whose minimum $(k-2)$-degree is at least $(5/9+o(1))n^2/2$ contains a Hamiltonian cycle. A construction due to Han and Zhao shows that this minimum degree condition is optimal. The…

In this paper, we prove a tight minimum degree condition in general graphs for the existence of paths between two given endpoints, whose lengths form a long arithmetic progression with common difference one or two. This allows us to obtain…

Problems of the following kind have been the focus of much recent research in the realm of parameterized complexity: Given an input graph (digraph) on $n$ vertices and a positive integer parameter $k$, find if there exist $k$ edges (arcs)…

It is shown that for a constant $t\in \mathbb{N}$, every simple topological graph on $n$ vertices has $O(n)$ edges if it has no two sets of $t$ edges such that every edge in one set is disjoint from all edges of the other set (i.e., the…

We prove a generalized isoperimetric inequality for a domain diffeomorphic to a sphere that replaces filling volume with $k$-dilation. Suppose $U$ is an open set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ diffeomorphic to a Euclidean $n$-ball. We show that in…

Dirac's theorem determines the sharp minimum degree threshold for graphs to contain perfect matchings and Hamiltonian cycles. There have been various attempts to generalize this theorem to hypergraphs with larger uniformity by considering…

We consider two extremal problems for set systems without long Berge cycles. First we give Dirac-type minimum degree conditions that force long Berge cycles. Next we give an upper bound for the number of hyperedges in a hypergraph with…
