We prove that for fixed $r\ge k\ge 2$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices having minimum codegree at least $(1-(\binom{r-1}{k-1}+\binom{r-2}{k-2})^{-1})n+o(n)$ contains the $(r-k+1)$th power of a tight Hamilton cycle. This result…

Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every triangle-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices contains a set of $\lfloor n/2 \rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2 /50$ edges. Krivelevich proved the conjecture for graphs with minimum degree at least…

We combine the two fundamental fixed-order tangle theorems of Robertson and Seymour into a single theorem that implies both, in a best possible way. We show that, for every $k \in \mathbb{N}$, every tree-decomposition of a graph $G$ which…

We study properties of random subcomplexes of partitions returned by (a suitable form of) the Strong Hypergraph Regularity Lemma, which we call regular slices. We argue that these subcomplexes capture many important structural properties of…

We prove that for any integer $k\geq 2$ and $\varepsilon>0$, there is an integer $\ell_0\geq 1$ such that any $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree at least $(1/2+\varepsilon)n$ has a fractional decomposition into…

The blow-up lemma states that a system of super-regular pairs contains all bounded degree spanning graphs as subgraphs that embed into a corresponding system of complete pairs. This lemma has far-reaching applications in extremal…

Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a vertex subset problem on graphs. In a reconfiguration variant of $\mathcal{Q}$ we are given a graph $G$ and two feasible solutions $S_s, S_t\subseteq V(G)$ of $\mathcal{Q}$ with $|S_s|=|S_t|=k$. The problem is to…

The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…

We give a new graph-theoretic proof of Cobham's Theorem which says that the support of an automatic sequence is either sparse or grows at least like $N^\alpha$ for some $\alpha > 0$. The proof uses the notions of tied vertices and cycle…

We study two decomposition problems in combinatorial geometry. The first part deals with the decomposition of multiple coverings of the plane. We say that a planar set is cover-decomposable if there is a constant m such that any m-fold…

By using the Szemer\'edi Regularity Lemma, Alon and Sudakov recently extended the classical Andr\'asfai-Erd\~os-S\'os theorem to cover general graphs. We prove, without using the Regularity Lemma, that the following stronger statement is…

A thoroughly studied problem in Extremal Graph Theory is to find the best possible density condition in a host graph $G$ for guaranteeing the presence of a particular subgraph $H$ in $G$. One such classical result, due to Bollob\'{a}s and…

The Bollob\'as--Nikiforov conjecture asserts that for any graph $G \neq K_n$ with $m$ edges and clique number $\omega(G)$, \[ \lambda_1^2(G) + \lambda_2^2(G) \;\leq\; 2\!\left(1 - \frac{1}{\omega(G)}\right)m, \] where $\lambda_1(G) \geq…

The Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal conjecture says that, for every graph $H$, there exists $c>0$ such that every $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices has a clique or stable set of size at least $n^c$. In this paper we are concerned with the case when $H$ is a…

In many models for large-scale computation, decomposition of the problem is key to efficient algorithms. For distance-related graph problems, it is often crucial that such a decomposition results in clusters of small diameter, while the…

It is known that there is a linear dependence between the treewidth of a graph and its balanced separator number: the smallest integer $k$ such that for every weighing of the vertices, the graph admits a balanced separator of size at most…

Given positive integers $k$ and $\ell$ we write $G \rightarrow (K_k,K_\ell)$ if every 2-colouring of the edges of $G$ yields a red copy of $K_k$ or a blue copy of $K_\ell$ and we denote by $R(k)$ the minimum $n$ such that $K_n\rightarrow…

In this paper, we show that every $O(m)$-edge-connected simple graph $G$ of size divisible by $m$ with minimum degree at least $2^{O(m)}$ has an edge-decomposition into isomorphic copies of any given tree $T$ of size $m$. Moreover, the…

We prove that for every complete multipartite graph $F$ there exist very dense graphs $G_n$ on $n$ vertices, namely with as many as ${n\choose 2}-cn$ edges for all $n$, for some constant $c=c(F)$, such that $G_n$ can be decomposed into…

The famous Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem on the Tur\'an number of paths states that every graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges contains a path with at least $\frac{2m}{n}$ edges. In this note, we first establish a simple but novel extension of…
