We show that for an infinitely many natural numbers $k$ there are $k$-uniform hypergraphs which admit a `rescaling phenomenon' as described in [9]. More precisely, let $\mathcal{A}(k,I, n)$ denote the class of $k$-graphs on $n$ vertices in…

The closure of a graph $G$ is the graph $G^*$ obtained from $G$ by repeatedly adding edges between pairs of non-adjacent vertices whose degree sum is at least $n$, where $n$ is the number of vertices of $G$. The well-known Closure Lemma…

Turan's Theorem states that every graph of a certain edge density contains a complete graph $K^k$ and describes the unique extremal graphs. We give a similar Theorem for l-partite graphs. For large l, we find the minimal edge density…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph. The Tur\'{a}n number $\text{ex}(n,\mathcal{H})$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $\mathcal{H}$-free $r$-uniform hypergraph. The Tur\'{a}n density of $\mathcal{H}$ is defined by…

Given a family of hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}$, we say that a hypergraph $\Gamma$ is $\mathcal{H}$-universal if it contains every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ as a subgraph. For $D, r \in \mathbb{N}$, we construct an $r$-uniform hypergraph with…

Given any $\varepsilon>0$ we prove that every sufficiently large $n$-vertex $3$-graph $H$ where every pair of vertices is contained in at least $(1/3+\varepsilon)n$ edges contains a copy of $C_{10}$, i.e.\ the tight cycle on $10$ vertices.…

It is well known that a graph with $m$ edges can be made triangle-free by removing (slightly less than) $m/2$ edges. On the other hand, there are many classes of graphs which are hard to make triangle-free in the sense that it is necessary…

We consider the problem of finding a large clique in an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph where we are allowed unbounded computational time but can only query a limited number of edges. Recall that the largest clique in $G \sim G(n,1/2)$ has…

Since its formulation, Tur\'an's hypergraph problems have been among the most challenging open problems in extremal combinatorics. One of them is the following: given a $3$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{F}$ on $n$ vertices in which any five…

Fix a hypergraph $\mathcal{F}$. A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called a {\it Berge copy of $\mathcal{F}$} or {\it Berge-$\mathcal{F}$} if we can choose a subset of each hyperedge of $\mathcal{H}$ to obtain a copy of $\mathcal{F}$. A…

Frankl and F\"uredi conjectured in 1989 that the maximum Lagrangian, denoted by $\lambda_r(m)$, among all $r$-uniform hypergraphs of fixed size $m$ is achieved by the minimum hypergraph $C_{r,m}$ under the colexicographic order. We say $m$…

A celebrated conjecture of Tuza states that in any finite graph the minimum size of a cover of triangles by edges is at most twice the maximum size of a set of edge-disjoint triangles. For an $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph) $G$, let…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta(G)$. A subgraph $H$ of $G$ is overfull if $|E(H)|>\Delta(G)\lfloor |V(H)|/2 \rfloor$. Chetwynd and Hilton in 1985 conjectured that a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $\Delta(G)>n/3$ has…

Ryser's Conjecture states that for any $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph, the vertex cover number is at most $r{-}1$ times the matching number. This conjecture is only known to be true for $r\leq 3$ in general and for $r\leq 5$ if the…

Let $F$ be a graph which contains an edge whose deletion reduces its chromatic number. For such a graph $F,$ a classical result of Simonovits from 1966 shows that every graph on $n\ge n_0(F)$ vertices with more than…

Dirac's theorem states that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with even integer $n$ satisfying $\delta(G) \geq n/2$ contains a perfect matching. We generalize this to $k$-uniform linear hypergraphs by proving the following. Any $n$-vertex…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is called \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-universal} if $G$ contains every graph in $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}_n(d)$ be the family of all graphs on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at…

Given $\alpha>0$ and an integer $\ell\geq5$, we prove that every sufficiently large $3$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices in which every two vertices are contained in at least $\alpha n$ edges contains a copy of $C_\ell^{-}$, a tight…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph is called $t$-cancellative if for any $t+2$ distinct edges $A_1,\ldots,A_t,B,C$, it holds that $(\cup_{i=1}^t A_i)\cup B\neq (\cup_{i=1}^t A_i)\cup C$. It is called $t$-union-free if for any two distinct subsets…

Ramsey--Tur\'an theory considers Tur\'an type questions in Ramsey-context, asking for the existence of a small subgraph in a graph $G$ where the complement $\overline{G}$ lacks an appropriate subgraph $F$, such as a clique of linear size.…
