In this paper we raise a variant of a classic problem in extremal graph theory, which is motivated by a design of fractional repetition codes, a model in distributed storage systems. For any feasible positive integers $d\geq 3$, $n \geq 3$,…

The irregularity strength of a graph $G$, $s(G)$, is the least $k$ such that there exists a $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$-weighting of the edges of $G$ attributing distinct weighted degrees to all vertices, or equivalently the least $k$ enabling…

We consider the problem of estimating the edge density of densest $K$-node subgraphs of an Erd\"os-R\'{e}nyi graph $\mathbb{G}(n,1/2)$. The problem is well-understood in the regime $K=\Theta(\log n)$ and in the regime $K=\Theta(n)$. In the…

The $(\kappa,\ell)$-edge-inducibility problem asks for the maximum number of $\kappa$-subsets inducing exactly $\ell$ edges that a graph of given order $n$ can have. Using flag algebras and stability approach, we resolve this problem for…

We give upper and lower bounds on the number of graphs of fixed degree which have a positive density of triangles. In particular, we show that there are very few such graphs, when compared to the number of graphs without this restriction.…

Denote by $T_k$ the generalised triangle, a $k$-uniform hypergraph on vertex set $\{1,2,\dots,2k-1\}$ with three edges $\{1,\dots,k-1,k\}$,$\{1,\dots,k-1,k+1\}$ and $\{k,k+1,\dots,2k-1\}$. Recently, Bowtell, Kathapurkar, Morrison and…

The thickness of a graph G is the minimum number of planar subgraphs whose union is G. In this paper, we obtain the thickness of complete 3-partite graph K_1,n,n, K_2,n,n and complete 4-partite graph K_1,1,n,n.

For which graphs $F$ is there a sparse $F$-counting lemma in $C_4$-free graphs? We are interested in identifying graphs $F$ with the property that, roughly speaking, if $G$ is an $n$-vertex $C_4$-free graph with on the order of $n^{3/2}$…

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…

The celebrated Corr\'{a}di--Hajnal Theorem~\cite{CH63} and the Hajnal--Szemer\'{e}di Theorem~\cite{HS70} determined the exact minimum degree thresholds for a graph on $n$ vertices to contain $k$ vertex-disjoint copies of $K_r$, for $r=3$…

Given two graphs $H$ and $G$, an $H$-tiling is a family of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ in $G$. A perfect $H$-tiling covers all vertices of $G$. The Corradi-Hajnal theorem (1963) states that an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree…

A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…

For a nondegenerate $r$-graph $F$, large $n$, and $t$ in the regime $[0, c_{F} n]$, where $c_F>0$ is a constant depending only on $F$, we present a general approach for determining the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-graph that…

The classic upper bound on the chromatic number of $d$-degenerate graphs is $d+1$, shown to be tight by complete graphs. A natural question is whether this bound remains tight if one forbids large cliques. Classic constructions of Tutte and…

Zykov showed in 1949 that among graphs on $n$ vertices with clique number $\omega(G) \le \omega$, the Tur\'an graph $T_{\omega}(n)$ maximizes not only the number of edges but also the number of copies of $K_t$ for each size $t$. The problem…
