Given a positive integer $p$ and a graph $G$ with degree sequence $d_1,\dots,d_n$, we define $e_p(G)=\sum_{i=1}^n d_i^p$. Caro and Yuster introduced a Tur\'an-type problem for $e_p(G)$: Given a positive integer $p$ and a graph $H$,…

The Tur\'an number of a graph $H$, denoted by $ex(n, H)$, is the maximum number of edges in any graph on $n$ vertices containing no $H$ as a subgraph. Let $P_{\ell}$ denote the path on $\ell$ vertices, $S_{\ell-1}$ denote the star on $\ell$…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph is called an $r$-graph. A hypergraph is linear if every two edges intersect in at most one vertex. Given a linear $r$-graph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the linear Tur\'an number $ex_L(n,H)$ is the maximum…

Burr, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp initiated the study of Ramsey numbers of trees versus odd cycles, proving that $R(T_n, C_m) = 2n - 1$ for all odd $m \ge 3$ and $n \ge 756m^{10}$, where $T_n$ is a tree with $n$ vertices and…

The Tur\'an number of a graph H, ex(n,H), is the maximum number of edges in a graph on n vertices which does not have H as a subgraph. Let P_k be the path with k vertices, the square P^2_k of P_k is obtained by joining the pairs of vertices…

Recently, Domagoj Brada\v{c}, Oliver Janzer, Benny Sudakov and Istv\'an Tomon have proved that the Tur\'an number of $2$-dimensional grids is $\Theta(n^{3/2})$, or more general, $\mathrm{ex}\left(n,T\square{P}\right)=\Theta(n^{3/2})$, where…
