Let $H$ be an $n$-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph such that every pair of vertices is in at least $n/3+o(n)$ edges. We show that $H$ contains two vertex-disjoint tight paths whose union covers the vertex set of $H$. The quantity two here is…

Given a system $\mathcal{G} =\{G_1,G_2,\dots,G_m\}$ of graphs/digraphs/hypergraphs on the common vertex set $V$ of size $n$, an $m$-edge graph/digraph/hypergraph $H$ on $V$ is transversal in $\mathcal{G}$ if there exists a bijection…

Let $\mathrm{ex}(G_{n,p}^r,F)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of the random $r$-uniform hypergraph $G_{n,p}^r$, and let $s(F):=\sup\{s: \exists H,\ t_F(H)=t_{K_r^r}(H)^{s+e(F)}>0\}$. Following recent work of…

For a fixed graph $H$, we say that an edge-colored graph $G$ is \emph{weakly $H$-rainbow saturated} if there exists an ordering $e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_m$ of $E\left(\overline{G}\right)$ such that, for any list $c_1, c_2, \ldots, c_m$ of…

The $r$-expansion of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, denoted by $H^{(+r)}$, is an $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained by enlarging each $k$-edge of $H$ with a set of $r-k$ vertices of degree one. The random Tur\'an number…

Let a_1,...,a_k satisfy a_1+...+a_k=1 and suppose a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices satisfies the following property; in any partition of its vertices into k sets A_1,...,A_k of sizes a_1*n,...,a_k*n, the number of edges intersecting…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph on $n$ vertices. Let $f_H(G) = 1$ iff the input graph $G$ on $n$ vertices contains $H$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. Let $\alpha_H$ denote the cardinality of a maximum independent set of $H$. In this…

Let $G$ be a graph of girth $g$ and circumference $c.$ A vertex $v$ of $G$ is called weakly pancyclic if $v$ lies on an $\ell$-cycle for every integer $\ell$ with $g\le \ell\le c.$ We prove that if $G$ is a nonbipartite graph of order $n\ge…

Bollob\'as, Reed and Thomason proved every $3$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ with $m$ edges has a vertex-partition $V(\mathcal{H})=V_1 \sqcup V_2 \sqcup V_3$ such that each part meets at least $\frac{1}{3}(1-\frac{1}{e})m$ edges, later…

A regular partition $\mathcal{P}$ for a $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V,E)$ consists of a partition $V=V_1\cup \ldots \cup V_t$ and for each $ij\in {[t]\choose 2}$, a partition $K_2[V_i,V_j]=P_{ij}^1\cup \ldots \cup P_{ij}^{\ell}$, such that…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph is $s$-almost intersecting if every edge is disjoint from exactly $s$ other edges. Gerbner, Lemons, Palmer, Patk\'os and Sz\'ecsi conjectured that for every $k$, and $s>s_0(k)$, every $k$-uniform $s$-almost…

One of the cornerstones of extremal graph theory is a result of F\"uredi, later reproved and given due prominence by Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov, saying that if $H$ is a bipartite graph with maximum degree $r$ on one side, then there is a…
