Given $k\ge 2$ and two $k$-graphs ($k$-uniform hypergraphs) $F$ and $H$, an $F$-factor in $H$ is a set of vertex disjoint copies of $F$ that together cover the vertex set of $H$. Lenz and Mubayi were first to study the $F$-factor problems…

The problem of finding an optimal vertex cover in a graph is a classic NP-complete problem, and is a special case of the hitting set question. On the other hand, the hitting set problem, when asked in the context of induced geometric…

An {\em ordered $r$-graph} is an $r$-uniform hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered. Given $2\leq k\leq r$, an ordered $r$-graph $H$ is {\em interval} $k$-{\em partite} if there exist at least $k$ disjoint intervals in the ordering…

We conjecture that every oriented graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $\delta ^+ (G) , \delta ^- (G) \geq 5n/12$ contains the square of a Hamilton cycle. We also give a conjectural bound on the minimum semidegree which ensures a perfect packing…

Let $\sigma$ be a partition of the positive integer $r$. A $\sigma$-hypergraph $H=H(n,r,q|\sigma)$ is an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $nq$ vertices which are partitioned into $n$ classes $V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_n$ each containing $q$ vertices. An…

Given a set $A$ of $n$ points (vertices) in general position in the plane, the \emph{complete geometric graph} $K_n[A]$ consists of all $\binom{n}{2}$ segments (edges) between the elements of $A$. It is known that the edge set of every…

For $k\ge 3$ and $\epsilon>0$, let $H$ be a $k$-partite $k$-graph with parts $V_1,\dots, V_k$ each of size $n$, where $n$ is sufficiently large. Assume that for each $i\in [k]$, every $(k-1)$-set in $\prod_{j\in [k]\setminus \{i\}} V_i$…

Chen, Faudree, Gould, Jacobson, and Lesniak determined the minimum degree threshold for which a balanced $k$-partite graph has a Hamiltonian cycle. We give an asymptotically tight minimum degree condition for Hamiltonian cycles in arbitrary…

Given an undirected graph $G = (V_G, E_G)$ and a fixed "pattern" graph $H = (V_H, E_H)$ with $k$ vertices, we consider the $H$-Transversal and $H$-Packing problems. The former asks to find the smallest $S \subseteq V_G$ such that the…

We look at several saturation problems in complete balanced blow-ups of graphs. We let $H[n]$ denote the blow-up of $H$ onto parts of size $n$ and refer to a copy of $H$ in $H[n]$ as 'partite' if it has one vertex in each part of $H[n]$. We…

Let $H$ be a $k$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices. A {\em strong $r$-coloring} is a partition of the vertices into $r$ parts, such that each edge of $H$ intersects each part. A strong $r$-coloring is called {\em equitable} if the size…

Let $G=(V,E)$ and $H$ be two graphs. Packing problem is to find in $G$ the largest number of independent subgraphs each of which is isomorphic to $H$. Let $U\subset{V}$. If the graph $G-U$ has no subgraph isomorphic to $H$, $U$ is a cover…

Given two 3-uniform hypergraphs F and G, we say that G has an F-covering if we can cover V(G) by copies of F. The minimum codegree of G is the largest integer d such that every pair of vertices from V(G) is contained in at least d triples…

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…

Given two $k$-graphs $F$ and $H$, a perfect $F$-tiling (also called an $F$-factor) in $H$ is a set of vertex disjoint copies of $F$ that together cover the vertex set of $H$. Let $t_{k-1}(n, F)$ be the smallest integer $t$ such that every…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi shows that every large $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+\gamma)n$ contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We generalised this result to loose spanning…

Let $r \geq 2$ be a fixed integer. For infinitely many $n$, let $\boldsymbol{k} = (k_1,..., k_n)$ be a vector of nonnegative integers such that their sum $M$ is divisible by $r$. We present an asymptotic enumeration formula for simple…

A $k$-edge-colored graph is a finite, simple graph with edges labeled by numbers $1,\ldots,k$. A function from the vertex set of one $k$-edge-colored graph to another is a homomorphism if the endpoints of any edge are mapped to two…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph. We say that a graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if it has no subgraph isomorphic to $H$, but the addition of any edge to $G$ results in an $H$-subgraph. The saturation number $\mathrm{sat}(H,n)$ is the minimum number of…

Given graphs $G$ and $H$, $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy of $H$ within $G$. The edge spectrum of $H$ is the set of all possible sizes of an…
