The regular Tur\'an number of a graph $F$, denoted by rex$(n,F)$, is the largest number of edges in a regular graph $G$ of order $n$ such that $G$ does not contain subgraphs isomorphic to $F$. Giving a partial answer to a recent problem…

For graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'an number $ex(n,H,F)$ is the largest number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We consider this problem when both $H$ and $F$ have at most four vertices. We give sharp results…

One of the central topics in extremal graph theory is the study of the function $ex(n,H)$, which represents the maximum number of edges a graph with $n$ vertices can have while avoiding a fixed graph $H$ as a subgraph. Tur{\'a}n provided a…

In a recent paper, Hunter, Milojevi\'c, Sudakov and Tomon consider the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph containing no copy of the complete bipartite graph $K_{s,s}$ and no induced copy of a "pattern" graph $H$. They conjecture…

For a family of graphs $\F$, a graph is called $\F$-free if it does not contain any member of $\F$ as a subgraph. The generalized Tur\'an number $\ex(n,K_r,\F)$ is the maximum number of $K_r$ in an $n$-vertex $\F$-free graph and…

For graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, if we glue them by identifying a given pair of vertices $u \in V(H_1)$ and $v \in V(H_2)$, what is the extremal number of the resulting graph $H_1^u \odot H_2^v$? In this paper, we study this problem and show…

A $q$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a set of vectors of length $n$ with all entries from $\{0,1,\dots,q\}$ and every vector (that we call a $q$-edge) having exactly two non-zero entries. The support of a $q$-edge $\mathbf{x}$ is the pair…

Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{H}$, the extremal number $\textrm{ex}(n, \mathcal{H})$ is the largest $m$ for which there exists a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges containing no graph from the family $\mathcal{H}$ as a subgraph. We…

We investigate natural Tur\'an problems for mixed graphs, generalizations of graphs where edges can be either directed or undirected. We study a natural \textit{Tur\'an density coefficient} that measures how large a fraction of directed…

A hypergraph $H$ is said to be \emph{linear} if every pair of vertices lies in at most one hyperedge. Given a family $\mathcal{F}$ of $r$-uniform hypergraphs, an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-free} if it contains no…

In this paper we deal with a Tur\'an-type problem: given a positive integer n and a forbidden graph H, how many edges can there be in a graph on n vertices without a subgraph H? How does a graph look like if it has this extremal edge…

For graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'an number $ex(n,H,F)$ is the largest number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We say that $H$ is $F$-Tur\'an-good if $ex(n,H,F)$ is the number of copies in the…

We determine the maximum number of edges of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with the property that none of its $r$-cliques intersects a fixed set $M\subset V(G)$. For $(r-1)|M|\ge n$, the $(r-1)$-partite Turan graph turns out to be the unique…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a set of graphs. The planar Tur\'an number, $ex_{\mathcal{P}}(n,\mathcal{F})$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex planar graph which does not contain any member of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. In this…

Given a positive integer $p$ and a graph $G$ with degree sequence $d_1,\dots,d_n$, we define $e_p(G)=\sum_{i=1}^n d_i^p$. Caro and Yuster introduced a Tur\'an-type problem for $e_p(G)$: Given a positive integer $p$ and a graph $H$,…

The classical Simonovits' chromatic critical edge theorem shows that for sufficiently large $n$, if $H$ is an edge-color-critical graph with $\chi(H)=p+1\ge 3$, then the Tur\'an graph $T_{n,p}$ is the unique extremal graph with respect to…
