Let $G$ be a multiplicatively written finite group. We denote by $\mathsf E(G)$ the smallest integer $t$ such that every sequence of $t$ elements in $G$ contains a product-one subsequence of length $|G|$. In 1961, Erd\H{o}s, Ginzburg and…

A classical extremal, or Tur\'an-type problem asks to determine ${\rm ex}(G, H)$, the largest number of edges in a subgraph of a graph $G$ which does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Alon and Shikhelman introduced the so-called…

We prove that the inducibility of $P_4$ in ordered monotone balanced bipartite graphs is $2/e^2$, establishing the smallest known graph with transcendental Tur\'an-type density. Moreover, the limit object is a binary graphon, so it…

The Ramsey number $r(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum $N$ such that every red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. Determining or estimating these numbers is one of the…

Grosu [On the algebraic and topological structure of the set of Tur\'{a}n densities. \emph{J. Combin. Theory Ser. B} \textbf{118} (2016) 137--185] asked if there exist an integer $r\ge 3$ and a finite family of $r$-graphs whose Tur\'{a}n…

For integers $r \geq 3$ and $t \geq 2$, an $r$-uniform $t$-daisy $\mathcal{D}^t_r$ is a family of $\binom{2t}{t}$ $r$-element sets of the form $$\{S \cup T \ : T\subset U, \ |T|=t \}$$ for some sets $S,U$ with $|S|=r-t$, $|U|=2t$ and $S…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $(H,+)$ be an abelian group. What is the minimum size ${\sf S}_H(G)$ of the set of all sums $A(u)+A(v)$ over all injections $A:V(G)\to H$? In 2012, the first author, Angel, the second author, and…

The cube Q is the usual 8-vertex graph with 12 edges. Here we give a new proof for a theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits concerning the Tur\'an number of the cube. Namely, it is shown that e(G) < n^{8/5}+(2n)^{3/2} holds for any n-vertex…

Given a $k$-graph $H$ a complete blow-up of $H$ is a $k$-graph $\hat{H}$ formed by replacing each $v\in V(H)$ by a non-empty vertex class $A_v$ and then inserting all edges between any $k$ vertex classes corresponding to an edge of $H$.…

Let $n,r,k,s$ be positive integers with $n,k\ge 2$. The generalized Ramsey number $R(n,r;k,s)$ is the smallest positive integer $p$ such that for every graph $G$ of order $p$, either $G$ contains a subgraph induced by $n$ vertices with at…

Consider the problem of determining the maximal induced subgraph in a random $d$-regular graph such that its components remain bounded as the size of the graph becomes arbitrarily large. We show, for asymptotically large $d$, that any such…

We study the following generalization of the Tur\'an problem in sparse random graphs. Given graphs $T$ and $H$, let $\mathrm{ex}\big(G(n,p), T, H\big)$ be the random variable that counts the largest number of copies of $T$ in a subgraph of…
