To compute the hyperbolicity constant is an almost intractable problem, thus it is natural to try to bound it in terms of some parameters of the graph. Let $\mathcal{G}(g,c,n)$ be the set of graphs $G$ with girth $g(G)=g$, circumference…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a model to study structures which are widely present in public transportation networks. We show that, through hypergraphs, one can describe these structures and investigate the relation between…

We consider random sub-graphs of a fixed graph $G=(V,E)$ with large minimum degree. We fix a positive integer $k$ and let $G_k$ be the random sub-graph where each $v\in V$ independently chooses $k$ random neighbors, making $kn$ edges in…

A $k$-uniform linear path of length $\ell$, denoted by $P^{(k)}_\ell$, is a family of $k$-sets $\{F_1,..., F_\ell\}$ such that $|F_i\cap F_{i+1}|=1$ for each $i$ and $F_i\cap F_j=\emptyset$ whenever $|i-j|>1$. Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph…

For a graph $H$, the {\em extremal number} $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ not containing a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $\delta(H)>0$ and $\Delta(H)$ denote the minimum degree and maximum degree of $H$,…

A common way to accelerate shortest path algorithms on graphs is the use of a bidirectional search, which simultaneously explores the graph from the start and the destination. It has been observed recently that this strategy performs…

Let $\binom{[n]}{k}$ denote the collection of all $k$-subsets of the standard $n$-set $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $n>2k$ and let $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$ be an {\it intersecting} $k$-graph, i.e., $F\cap F'\neq \emptyset$ for all…

We study properties of random subcomplexes of partitions returned by (a suitable form of) the Strong Hypergraph Regularity Lemma, which we call regular slices. We argue that these subcomplexes capture many important structural properties of…

For two graphs $T$ and $H$ with no isolated vertices and for an integer $n$, let $ex(n,T,H)$ denote the maximum possible number of copies of $T$ in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. The study of this function when $T=K_2$ is a single edge…

We prove that for any integer $k\geq 2$ and $\varepsilon>0$, there is an integer $\ell_0\geq 1$ such that any $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree at least $(1/2+\varepsilon)n$ has a fractional decomposition into…

We study two extremal problems about subgraphs excluding a family $\F$ of graphs. i) Among all graphs with $m$ edges, what is the smallest size $f(m,\F)$ of a largest $\F$--free subgraph? ii) Among all graphs with minimum degree $\delta$…

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…

We study the question of the least number of random edges that need to be added to a P\'osa-Seymour graph, that is, a graph with minimum degree exceeding $\frac k{k+1}n$, to secure the existence of the $m$-th power of a Hamiltonian cycle,…
