A \emph{$k$-planar graph} is a graph that can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is crossed at most $k$ times. For $k \leq 4$, Pach and T\'oth proved a bound of $(k+3)(n-2)$ on the total number of edges of a $k$-planar graph, which…

In this paper we raise a variant of a classic problem in extremal graph theory, which is motivated by a design of fractional repetition codes, a model in distributed storage systems. For any feasible positive integers $d\geq 3$, $n \geq 3$,…

Given positive integers $n\ge s$, we let ${\mathrm{ex}}(n,s)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a triangle-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $\alpha(G)\le s$. In the early sixties Andr\'{a}sfai conjectured that for $n/3<s<n/2$ the…

A central theme in extremal combinatorics is the study of the maximum number of edges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph) with matching number at most $s$ (the Erd\H{o}s Matching Conjecture) or with pairwise intersection at least $t$…

We prove that for every non-trivial hereditary family of graphs ${\cal P}$ and for every fixed $p \in (0,1)$, the maximum possible number of edges in a subgraph of the random graph $G(n,p)$ which belongs to ${\cal P}$ is, with high…

We prove that the maximum number of edges in a 3-uniform linear hypergraph on $n$ vertices containing no 2-regular subhypergraph is $n^{1+o(1)}$. This resolves a conjecture of Dellamonica, Haxell, Luczak, Mubayi, Nagle, Person, R\"odl,…

The aim of the present paper is to prove that the maximum number of edges in a 3-uniform hypergraph on n vertices and matching number s is max{\binom(3s+2,3), \binom(n,3) - \binom(n-s,3)} for all n,s, n >= 3s+2.

The equator of a graph is the length of a longest isometric cycle. We bound the order $n$ of a graph from below by its equator $q$, girth $g$ and minimum degree $\delta$ - and show that this bound is sharp when there exists a Moore graph…

Given an edge-weighted graph $G$ with a set $Q$ of $k$ terminals, a mimicking network is a graph with the same set of terminals that exactly preserves the sizes of minimum cuts between any partition of the terminals. A natural question in…

We investigate extremal problems for hypergraphs satisfying the following density condition. A $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V, E)$ is $(d, \eta,P_2)$-dense if for any two subsets of pairs $P$, $Q\subseteq V\times V$ the number of pairs…

The Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem states that for $k \geq 3$, any $n$-vertex graph with no cycle of length at least $k$ has at most $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)(n-1)$ edges. A stronger version of the Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem was given by Kopylov: If $G$…

In 1959 Erd\H{o}s and Gallai proved the asymptotically optimal bound for the maximum number of edges in graphs not containing a path of a fixed length. Here we study a rainbow version of their theorem, in which one considers $k \geq 1$…

The 1-2-3 Conjecture asks whether almost all graphs can be (edge-)labelled with $1,2,3$ so that no two adjacent vertices are incident to the same sum of labels. In the last decades, several aspects of this problem have been studied in…

A fundamental result in extremal graph theory is attributed to Mantel's theorem, which states that every graph on $n$ vertices with more than $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges must contain a triangle. Lov\'{a}sz and Simonovits (1975) provided a…

We analyze a random greedy process to construct $q$-uniform linear hypergraphs using the differential equation method. We show for $q=o(\sqrt{\log n})$, that this process yields a hypergraph with $\frac{n(n-1)}{q(q-1)}(1-o(1))$ edges. We…

Extremal graph theory studies the maximum or minimum number of subgraphs isomorphic to a prescribed graph under given constraints. \textit{Localization} has recently emerged as a framework that refines such problems by assigning extremal…

Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…

We investigate locally $n \times n$ grid graphs, that is, graphs in which the neighbourhood of any vertex is the Cartesian product of two complete graphs on $n$ vertices. We consider the subclass of these graphs for which each pair of…

A classic result in extremal graph theory, known as Mantel's theorem, states that every non-bipartite graph of order $n$ with size $m>\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4}\rfloor$ contains a triangle. Lin, Ning and Wu [Comb. Probab. Comput. 30 (2021)…

Let $\mathbf{k} := (k_1,\dots,k_s)$ be a sequence of natural numbers. For a graph $G$, let $F(G;\mathbf{k})$ denote the number of colourings of the edges of $G$ with colours $1,\dots,s$ such that, for every $c \in \{1,\dots,s\}$, the edges…
