A $k$-truss is an edge-induced subgraph $H$ such that each of its edges belongs to at least $k-2$ triangles of $H$. This notion has been introduced around ten years ago in social network analysis and security, as a form of cohesive subgraph…

Let t be an integer, f(n) a function, and H a graph. Define the t-Ramsey-Tur\'an number of H, RT_t(n, H, f(n)), to be the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex, H-free graph G where f(n) is larger than the maximum number of vertices in a…

We prove that $s_r(K_{k+1}) = O(k^3 r^3 \log^3 k)$, where $s_r(K_k)$ is the Ramsey parameter introduced by Burr, Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'{a}sz in 1976, which is defined as the smallest minimum degree of a graph $G$ such that any $r$-colouring of…

The induced Ramsey number $r_{\mathrm{ind}}(G,H)$ is defined as the minimum order of a graph $F$ on such that any 2-coloring of its edges with red and blue leads to either a red induced copy of $G$ or a blue induced copy of $H$. Motivated…

A seminal result of Lee asserts that the Ramsey number of any bipartite $d$-degenerate graph $H$ satisfies $\log r(H) = \log n + O(d)$. In particular, this bound applies to every bipartite graph of maximal degree $\Delta$. It remains a…

Given a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, define the \emph{Gallai-Ramsey number} to be the minimum number of vertices $n$ such that any $k$-edge coloring of $K_n$ contains either a rainbow (all different colored) triangle or a…

We improve the upper bound for diagonal Ramsey numbers to \[R(k+1,k+1)\le\exp(-c(\log k)^2)\binom{2k}{k}\] for $k\ge 3$. To do so, we build on a quasirandomness and induction framework for Ramsey numbers introduced by Thomason and extended…

For two graphs $G^<$ and $H^<$ with linearly ordered vertex sets, the ordered Ramsey number $r_<(G^<,H^<)$ is the minimum $N$ such that every red-blue coloring of the edges of the ordered complete graph on $N$ vertices contains a red copy…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, we consider Ramsey numbers $r(G,H)$ with tight lower bounds, namely, $r(G,H) \geq (\chi(G)-1)(|H|-1)+1,$ where $\chi(G)$ denotes the chromatic number of $G$ and $|H|$ denotes the number of vertices in $H$. We say $H$…

Let the grid graph $G_{M\times N}$ denote the Cartesian product $K_M \square K_N$. For a fixed subgraph $H$ of a grid, we study the off-diagonal Ramsey number $\operatorname{gr}(H, K_k)$, which is the smallest $N$ such that any red/blue…

In this paper, we investigate a variant of Ramsey numbers called defective Ramsey numbers where cliques and independent sets are generalized to $k$-dense and $k$-sparse sets, both commonly called $k$-defective sets. We focus on the…

A graph is $H$-Ramsey if every two-coloring of its edges contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. Define the $F$-Ramsey number of $H$, denoted by $r_F(H)$, to be the minimum number of copies of $F$ in a graph which is $H$-Ramsey. This…

In 1995 Kim famously proved the Ramsey bound R(3,t) \ge c t^2/\log t by constructing an n-vertex graph that is triangle-free and has independence number at most C \sqrt{n \log n}. We extend this celebrated result, which is best possible up…

We consider the Densest-Subgraph problem, where a graph and an integer k is given and we search for a subgraph on exactly k vertices that induces the maximum number of edges. We prove that this problem is NP-hard even when the input graph…

Given a positive integer $k$ and graph $G$, the $\mathbb{Z}_k$-Ramsey number $R(G,\mathbb{Z}_k)$ is the least $N$ (if it exists) such that every coloring $f:E(K_N)\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_k$ contains a copy $G'$ of $G$ such that $\sum_{e\in…

Let $r,\ell\geq2$ be integers. Given $r$-graphs $G$ and $F_1,\dots,F_\ell$, we write $G\to(F_1,\dots,F_\ell)$ if every $\ell$-edge-coloring of $G$ yields a monochromatic copy of $F_i$ in the $i$th color for some $1\leq i\leq\ell$, otherwise…

We consider the problem of counting, in a given graph, the number of induced k-vertex subgraphs which have an even number of edges, and also the complementary problem of counting the k-vertex induced subgraphs having an odd number of edges.…

Given an acyclic oriented graph $\vec{H}$ and a graph $G$, we write $G \to \vec{H}$ if every orientation of $G$ has an oriented copy of $\vec{H}$. We define $\vec{R}(\vec{H})$ as the smallest number $n$ such that there exists a graph $G$…

We give a probabilistic construction of a $3$-uniform hypergraph on $N$ vertices with independence number $O(\log N / \log \log N)$ in which there are at most two edges among any four vertices. This bound is tight and solves a longstanding…
