For a 3-uniform hypergraph (3-graph) $F$, let $r(F,n)$ be the smallest $N$ such that any $N$-vertex $F$-free 3-graph has an independent set of size $n$. We construct a $3$-graph $H_2$ with six vertices and five edges such that…

A Berge cycle of length $\ell$ in a hypergraph is an alternating sequence of $\ell$ distinct vertices and $\ell$ distinct edges $v_1,e_1,v_2, \ldots, v_\ell, e_{\ell}$ such that $\{v_i, v_{i+1}\} \subseteq e_i$ for all $i$, with indices…

The jump graph $J(G)$ of a simple graph $G$ has vertices which represent edges in $G$ where two vertices in $J(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges in $G$ do not share an endpoint. In this paper, we examine sequences of…

A simple probabilistic argument shows that every $r$-uniform hypergraph with $m$ edges contains an $r$-partite subhypergraph with at least $\frac{r!}{r^r}m$ edges. The celebrated result of Edwards states that in the case of graphs, that is…

We improve upon the lower bound for 3-colour hypergraph Ramsey numbers, showing, in the 3-uniform case, that \[r_3 (l,l,l) \geq 2^{l^{c \log \log l}}.\] The old bound, due to Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal, was \[r_3 (l,l,l) \geq 2^{c l^2 \log^2…

We give upper bounds for the number $\Phi_\ell(G)$ of matchings of size $\ell$ in (i) bipartite graphs $G=(X\cup Y, E)$ with specified degrees $d_x$ ($x\in X$), and (ii) general graphs $G=(V,E)$ with all degrees specified. In particular,…

An $\ell$-lift of a graph $G$ is any graph obtained by replacing every vertex of $G$ with an independent set of size $\ell$, and connecting every pair of two such independent sets that correspond to an edge in $G$ by a matching of size…

We consider classes of pseudo-random graphs on $n$ vertices for which the degree of every vertex and the co-degree between every pair of vertices are in the intervals $(np - Cn^\delta,np+Cn^\delta)$ and $(np^2- C n^\delta, np^2 +C…

The Tur\'{a}n number $T(n,\alpha+1,r)$ is the minimum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-graph whose independence number does not exceed $\alpha$. For each $r\geq 2$, there exists $t_*(r)$ such that $T(n,\alpha+1,r) = t_*(r) \: n^r \:…

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…

A graph is $1$-planar, if it can be drawn in the plane such that there is at most one crossing on every edge. It is known, that $1$-planar graphs have at most $4n-8$ edges. We prove the following odd-even generalization. If a graph can be…

The game of \emph{Cops and Robber} is usually played on a graph, where a group of cops attempt to catch a robber moving along the edges of the graph. The \emph{cop number} of a graph is the minimum number of cops required to win the game.…

An $r$-graph is an $r$-uniform hypergraph tree (or $r$-tree) if its edges can be ordered as $E_1,\ldots, E_m$ such that $\forall i>1 \, \exists \alpha(i)<i$ such that $E_i\cap (\bigcup_{j=1}^{i-1} E_j)\subseteq E_{\alpha(i)}$. The Tur\'an…

An (r,alpha)-bounded excess flow ((r,alpha)-flow) in an orientation of a graph G=(V,E) is an assignment of a real "flow value" between 1 and r-1 to every edge. Rather than 0 as in an actual flow, some flow excess, which does not exceed…

Generalizing work on graphs, Chang and Roussel introduced $k$-power domination in hypergraphs and conjectured the upper bound for the $k$-power domination number for $r$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ vertices was $\frac{n}{r+k}$. This upper…

In dimension $n = 2m-2 \geq 4$ adjunction theoretic scrolls over a smooth $m$-fold may not be classical scrolls, due to the existence of divisorial fibers. A $4$-dimensional scroll $(X,L)$ over $\mathbb P^3$ of this type is considered, and…

A weighting of the edges of a hypergraph is called vertex-coloring if the weighted degrees of the vertices yield a proper coloring of the graph, i.e., every edge contains at least two vertices with different weighted degrees. In this paper…

Wall's theorem on arithmetic progressions says that if $0.a_1a_2a_3\dots$ is normal, then for any $k,\ell\in \mathbb{N}$, $0.a_ka_{k+\ell}a_{k+2\ell}\dots$ is also normal. We examine a converse statement and show that if…

We consider the Erd{\H{o}}s - Faber - Lov\'{a}sz (EFL) conjecture for hypergraphs. This paper gives an upper bound for the chromatic number of $r$ regular linear hypergraphs $\textbf{H}$ of size $n$. If $r \ge 4$, $\chi (\textbf{H}) \le…

For fixed positive integers $r, k$ and $\ell$ with $1 \leq \ell < r$ and an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$, let $\kappa (H, k,\ell)$ denote the number of $k$-colorings of the set of hyperedges of $H$ for which any two hyperedges in the same…
