Let $G=(V,E)$ be a multigraph of maximum degree $\Delta$. The edges of $G$ can be colored with at most $\frac{3}{2}\Delta$ colors by Shannon's theorem. We study lower bounds on the size of subgraphs of $G$ that can be colored with $\Delta$…
For a $k$-graph $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$, the clique number of $\mathcal{F}$ is defined to be the maximum size of a subset $Q$ of $[n]$ with $\binom{Q}{k}\subset \mathcal{F}$. In the present paper, we determine the maximum number…
A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s asserts that for $k\ge 3$, the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph without $s+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $\max\{\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-s}{k},\binom{sk+k-1}{k}\}$. This problem…
May the $\mathit{triforce}$ be the 3-uniform hypergraph on six vertices with edges $\{123',12'3,1'23\}$. We show that the minimum triforce density in a 3-uniform hypergraph of edge density $\delta$ is $\delta^{4-o(1)}$ but not…
We show that the edges of any planar graph of maximum degree at most $9$ can be partitioned into $4$ linear forests and a matching. Combined with known results, this implies that the edges of any planar graph $G$ of odd maximum degree…
We prove that for any $k \ge 3$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices contains at most $n - \omega(1)$ different sizes of cliques (maximal complete subgraphs). In particular, the 3-uniform case answers a question of Erd\H{o}s.
The clustering of a graph coloring is the maximum size of monochromatic components. This paper studies colorings with bounded clustering in graph classes with bounded layered treewidth, which include planar graphs, graphs of bounded Euler…
In a graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ let $\gamma$ denote the largest fraction of edges that can be $\Delta$ edge-coloured. Albertson and Haas showed that $\gamma \geq 13/15$ when $G$ is cubic . We show here that this result can be…
Given positive integers $a\leq b \leq c$, let $K_{a,b,c}$ be the complete 3-partite 3-uniform hypergraph with three parts of sizes $a,b,c$. Let $H$ be a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices where $n$ is divisible by $a+b+c$. We…
In this paper, we show that the largest Laplacian H-eigenvalue of a $k$-uniform nontrivial hypergraph is strictly larger than the maximum degree when $k$ is even. A tight lower bound for this eigenvalue is given. For a connected…
We show that a 2-subset-regular self-complementary 3-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices exists if and only if $n\ge 6$ and $n$ is congruent to 2 modulo 4.
Gy\'arf\'as, Gy\H{o}ri and Simonovits proved that if a $3$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices has no linear cycles, then its independence number $\alpha \ge \frac{2n} {5}$. The hypergraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of a complete…
For a finite graph $G$, we study the maximum $2$-edge colorable subgraph problem and a related ratio $\frac{\mu(G)}{\nu(G)}$, where $\nu(G)$ is the matching number of $G$, and $\mu(G)$ is the size of the largest matching in any pair…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hypergraph of maximal vertex degree $\Delta$, such that each its hyperedge contains at least $\delta$ vertices. Let $k=\lceil\frac{2\Delta}{\delta}\rceil$. We prove that (i) The hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ admits proper…
A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph or hypergraph is hitting if $M$ covers each vertex of $H$ at least once, and $M$ is $t$-shallow if it covers each vertex of $H$ at most $t$ times. We consider the existence of shallow hitting edge sets…
We prove that the maximum degree $\Delta_n$ of a random series-parallel graph with $n$ vertices satisfies $\Delta_n/\log n \to c$ in probability, and $\mathbb{E}\, \Delta_n \sim c \log n$ for a computable constant $c>0$. The same result…
We prove that any $3$-uniform hypergraph whose minimum vertex degree is at least $\left(\frac{5}{9} + o(1) \right)\binom{n}{2}$ admits an almost-spanning tight cycle, that is, a tight cycle leaving $o(n)$ vertices uncovered. The bound on…
In this note, we prove that there exists a universal constant $c=\frac{43}{50}$ such that for every $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and every $d<k/2$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and with minimum $d$-degree at least…
The study of asymptotic minimum degree thresholds that force matchings and tilings in hypergraphs is a lively area of research in combinatorics. A key breakthrough in this area was a result of H\`{a}n, Person and Schacht who proved that the…
In this paper, we make progress on a question related to one of Galvin that has attracted substantial attention recently. The question is that of determining among all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and $\Delta(G)\leq r$, which has the most…
