We provide two novel constructions of $r$ edge-disjoint $K_{k+1}$-free graphs on the same vertex set, each of which has the property that every small induced subgraph contains a complete graph on $k$ vertices. The main novelty of our…

A graph K is square-free if it contains no four-cycle as a subgraph. A graph K is multiplicative if GxH -> K implies G -> K or H -> K, for all graphs G,H. Here GxH is the tensor (or categorical) graph product and G -> K denotes the…

We investigate the impact of a high-degree vertex in Tur\'{a}n problems for degenerate hypergraphs (including graphs). We say an $r$-graph $F$ is bounded if there exist constants $\alpha, \beta>0$ such that for large $n$, every $n$-vertex…

Our main result is that every graph $G$ on $n\ge 10^4r^3$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge (1 - 1 / 10^4 r^{3/2} ) n$ has a fractional $K_r$-decomposition. Combining this result with recent work of Barber, K\"uhn, Lo and Osthus…

More than thirty years ago, Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp posed a fundamental question in extremal graph theory: What is the optimal constant $c_k$ such that $r(C_{2k+1}, G) \le c_k m$ for any graph $G$ with $m$ edges and no…

Given a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-free if $G$ does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph. For a positive real number $t$, a non-complete graph $G$ is said to be $t$-tough if for every vertex cut $S$ of $G$, the ratio of $|S|$ to the…

In FOCS 2017, Borradaille, Le, and Wulff-Nilsen addressed a long-standing open problem by proving that minor-free graphs have light spanners. Specifically, they proved that every $K_h$-minor-free graph has a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner of…

Popielarz, Sahasrabudhe and Snyder in 2018 proved that maximal $K_{r+1}$-free graphs with $(1-\frac{1}{r})\frac{n^2}{2}-o(n^{\frac{r+1}{r}})$ edges contain a complete $r$-partite subgraph on $n-o(n)$ vertices. This was very recently…

Tur\'an's Theorem says that an extremal $K_{r+1}$-free graph is $r$-partite. The Stability Theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits shows that if a $K_{r+1}$-free graph with $n$ vertices has close to the maximal $t_r(n)$ edges, then it is close…

For fixed integers $r\ge 3,e\ge 3,v\ge r+1$, an $r$-uniform hypergraph is called $\mathscr{G}_r(v,e)$-free if the union of any $e$ distinct edges contains at least $v+1$ vertices. Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'{o}s showed that the maximum number…

Let $t>0$ be a real number and $G$ be a graph. We say $G$ is $t$-tough if for every cutset $S$ of $G$, the ratio of $|S|$ to the number of components of $G-S$ is at least $t$. The Toughness Conjecture of Chv\'atal, stating that there exists…

Let $G$ be a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. Frieze, Gould, Karo\'nski and Pfender began the study of the following random spanning subgraph model $H=H(G)$. Assign independently to each vertex $v$ of $G$ a uniform random number $x(v) \in…

For a sequence $(H_i)_{i=1}^k$ of graphs, let $\textrm{nim}(n;H_1,\ldots, H_k)$ denote the maximum number of edges not contained in any monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in colour $i$, for any colour $i$, over all $k$-edge-colourings of~$K_n$.…

A famous result by R\"odl, Ruci\'nski, and Szemer\'edi guarantees a (tight) Hamilton cycle in $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H$ on $n$ vertices with minimum $(k-1)$-degree $\delta_{k-1}(H)\geq (1/2+o(1))n$, thereby extending Dirac's result from…

Let $F$ be an $(r+1)$-color critical graph with $r\geq 2$, that is, $\chi(F)=r+1$ and there is an edge $e$ in $F$ such that $\chi(F-e)=r$. Gerbner recently conjectured that every $n$-vertex maximal $F$-free graph with at least…

A graph is $H$-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Brandst\"adt, Engelfriet, Le and Lozin proved that the class of chordal graphs with independence number at most 3 has unbounded clique-width. Brandst\"adt, Le and Mosca…

For two graphs $T$ and $H$ with no isolated vertices and for an integer $n$, let $ex(n,T,H)$ denote the maximum possible number of copies of $T$ in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. The study of this function when $T=K_2$ is a single edge…

An $\mathcal{F}$-saturated $r$-graph is a maximal $r$-graph not containing any member of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{K}_{\ell + 1}^{r}$ be the collection of all $r$-graphs $F$ with at most $\binom{\ell+1}{2}$ edges such that…

We study the distribution of the set of copies of some given graph $H$ in the random graph $G(n,p)$, focusing on the case when $H = K_r$. Our main results capture the 'leading term' in the difference between this distribution and the…

The Graph Minors Structure Theorem of Robertson and Seymour asserts that, for every graph $H,$ every $H$-minor-free graph can be obtained by clique-sums of ``almost embeddable'' graphs. Here a graph is ``almost embeddable'' if it can be…
