Using techniques in \cite{chudnovsky2023erdHos} and substitution in \cite{alon2001ramsey}, we show that there is $\epsilon>0$ such that for any graph $G$ with VC-dimension $\leq 2$, $G$ has a clique or an anti-clique of size $\geq…

A simple graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$ is overfull if $|E(G)|>\Delta \lfloor |V(G)|/2\rfloor$. The core of $G$, denoted $G_{\Delta}$, is the subgraph of $G$ induced by its vertices of degree $\Delta$. Clearly, the chromatic index…

Chung, Graham and Wilson defined a set of graphs $\mathcal{H}$ to be forcing, if any sequence of graphs $\{G_n\}_{n \geq 0}$ with $|G_n| = n$ must be quasirandom, whenever $hom(H, G_n)= (p^{|E(H)|}+o(1))n^{|V(H)|}$ for every $H \in…

The Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension (in short, VC-dimension) of a graph is defined as the VC-dimension of the set system induced by the neighborhoods of its vertices. We show that every $n$-vertex graph with bounded VC-dimension contains a…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$. A classical upper bound for the domination number of a graph $G$ having no isolated vertices is $\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor$. However, for several families of graphs, we have $\gamma(G) \le…

The independence number $\alpha(H)$ of a hypergraph $H$ is the maximum cardinality of a set of vertices of $H$ that does not contain an edge of $H$. Generalizing Shearer's classical lower bound on the independence number of triangle-free…

For given integers $k$ and $\ell$ with $0<\ell< {k \choose 2}$, Alon, Hefetz, Krivelevich and Tyomkyn formulated the following conjecture: When sampling a $k$-vertex subset uniformly at random from a very large graph $G$, then the…

The conjecture of Bollob\'as and Koml\'os, recently proved by B\"ottcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Math. Ann. 343(1), 175--205, 2009], implies that for any $\gamma>0$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices with bounded degree and…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a connected graph with the usual (graph) distance metric $d:V \times V \to N \cup \{0 \}$. Introduced by Gromov, $G$ is $\delta$-hyperbolic if for every four vertices $u,v,x,y \in V$, the two largest values of the three…

We study structural properties of graphs with fixed clique number and high minimum degree. In particular, we show that there exists a function $L=L(r,\varepsilon)$, such that every $K_r$-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at…

The chromatic threshold $\delta_\chi(H,p)$ of a graph $H$ with respect to the random graph $G(n,p)$ is the infimum over $d > 0$ such that the following holds with high probability: the family of $H$-free graphs $G \subset G(n,p)$ with…

Let $H$ be a graph on $h$ vertices. The number of induced copies of $H$ in a graph $G$ is denoted by $i_H(G)$. Let $i_H(n)$ denote the maximum of $i_H(G)$ taken over all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices. Let $f(n,h) = \Pi_{i}^h a_i$ where…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n\geq 3$ vertices. A graph $G$ is almost distance-hereditary if each connected induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ has the property $d_{H}(x,y)\leq d_{G}(x,y)+1$ for any pair of vertices $x,y\in V(H)$. A graph $G$ is called…

For each $\Delta>0$, we prove that there exists some $C=C(\Delta)$ for which the binomial random graph $G(n,C\log n/n)$ almost surely contains a copy of every tree with $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$. In doing so, we…
