We use Menger's Theorem and K\"onig's Line Colouring Theorem to show that in any tripartite graph with two complete (bipartite) sides the maximum number of pairwise edge-disjoint triangles equals the minimum number of edges that meet all…

A graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal H(n,\Delta)$-universal if it contains every graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$. It is known that for any $\varepsilon > 0$ and any natural number $\Delta$ there exists $c > 0$ such…

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to edges such that every color class induces a matching. We here focus on bipartite graphs whose one part is of maximum degree at most $3$ and the other part is of maximum…

A new, constructive proof with a small explicit constant is given to the Erd\H{o}s-Pyber theorem which says that the edges of a graph on $n$ vertices can be partitioned into complete bipartite subgraphs so that every vertex is covered at…

A graph $G$ is called universal for a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ if it contains every element $F \in \mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}(n,2)$ be the family of all graphs with maximum degree $2$. Ferber, Kronenberg, and Luh…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, a homomorphism from $G$ to $H$, or $H$-coloring of $G$, is a map from the vertices of $G$ to the vertices of $H$ that preserves adjacency. When $H$ is composed of an edge with one looped endvertex, an $H$-coloring of…

A well-known conjecture by Erd\H{o}s states that every triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices can be made bipartite by removing at most $n^2/25$ edges. This conjecture was known for graphs with edge density at least $0.4$ and edge density at…

The classical extremal function for a graph $H$, $ex(K_n, H)$ is the largest number of edges in a subgraph of $K_n$ that contains no subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Note that defining $ex(K_n, H-ind)$ by forbidding induced subgraphs isomorphic…

In order to investigate the non-odd-bipartiteness of even uniform hypergraphs, starting from a simple graph $G$, we construct a generalized power of $G$, denoted by $G^{k,s}$, which is obtained from $G$ by blowing up each vertex into a…

A graph $G$ is $H$-covered by some given graph $H$ if each vertex in $G$ is contained in a copy of $H$. In this note, we give the maximum number of independent sets of size $t\ge 3$ in $K_n$-covered graphs of size $N\ge n+t-1$ and determine…
