For integers $n \geq k \geq 1$, the {\em Kneser graph} $K(n, k)$ is the graph with vertex-set consisting of all the $k$-element subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, where two $k$-element sets are adjacent in $K(n,k)$ if they are disjoint. We show…

For which values of $k$ does a uniformly chosen $3$-regular graph $G$ on $n$ vertices typically contain $ n/k$ vertex-disjoint $k$-cycles (a $k$-cycle factor)? To date, this has been answered for $k=n$ and for $k \ll \log n$; the former,…

The triangle removal states that if $G$ contains $\varepsilon n^2$ edge-disjoint triangles, then $G$ contains $\delta(\varepsilon)n^3$ triangles. Unfortunately, there are no sensible bounds on the order of growth of $\delta(\varepsilon)$,…

We prove that for all $\mu>0, t\in (0,1)$ and sufficiently large $n\in 4\mathbb{N}$, if $G$ is an edge-weighted complete graph on $n$ vertices with a weight function $w: E(G)\rightarrow [0,1]$ and the minimum weighted degree…

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…

We say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-packing if there exists a set of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ which cover all the vertices in $G$. The seminal Hajnal--Szemer\'edi theorem characterises the minimum degree that ensures a graph $G$…

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…

Let $\mathrm{ch}(G)$ denote the choice number of a graph $G$, and let $K_{s*k}$ be the complete $k$-partite graph with $s$ vertices in each part. Erd\H{o}s, Rubin, and Taylor showed that $\mathrm{ch}( K_{2*k})=k$, and suggested the problem…

The $\{K_{1,1}, K_{1,2},C_m: m\geq3\}$-factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph whose each component is an element of $\{K_{1,1}, K_{1,2},C_m: m\geq3\}$. In this paper, through the graph spectral methods, we establish the lower bound of the…

A simple graph more often than not contains adjacent vertices with equal degrees. This in particular holds for all pairs of neighbours in regular graphs, while a lot such pairs can be expected e.g. in many random models. Is there a…

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…

In 1975 Bollob\'{a}s, Erd\H{o}s, and Szemer\'{e}di asked what minimum degree guarantees an octahedral subgraph $K_3(2)$ in any tripartite graph $G$ with $n$ vertices in each vertex class. We show that $\delta(G)\geq n+2n^{\frac{5}{6}}$…

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…

The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…

The Hajnal--Szemer\'edi theorem states that for any integer $r \ge 1$ and any multiple $n$ of $r$, if $G$ is a graph on $n$ vertices and $\delta(G) \ge (1 - 1/r)n$, then $G$ can be partitioned into $n/r$ vertex-disjoint copies of the…

In this note we prove that for every integer $k$, there exist constants $g_{1}(k)$ and $g_{2}(k)$ such that the following holds. If $G$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta$ then it contains an induced subgraph $H$ on at…

We show that for each $r\ge 4$, in a density range extending up to, and slightly beyond, the threshold for a $K_r$-factor, the copies of $K_r$ in the random graph $G(n,p)$ are randomly distributed, in the (one-sided) sense that the…
