We consider $k$-graphs on $n$ vertices, that is, $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$. A $k$-graph $\mathcal{F}$ is called intersecting if $F\cap F'\neq \emptyset$ for all $F,F'\in \mathcal{F}$. In the present paper we prove that for $k\geq…

The crossing number ${\mbox {cr}}(G)$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the smallest number of edge crossings over all drawings of $G$ in the plane. For any $k\ge 1$, the $k$-planar crossing number of $G$, ${\mbox {cr}}_k(G)$, is defined as the…

A family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ is $H$-intersecting if the edge intersection of any two graphs in $\mathcal{F}$ contains a copy of a fixed graph $H$. A fundamental problem is to determine the maximum size of such a family. The trivial…

In this paper, we study the high-order phase transition in random $r$-uniform hypergraphs. For a positive integer $n$ and a real $p\in [0,1]$, let $H:=H^r(n,p)$ be the random $r$-uniform hypergraph with vertex set $[n]$, where each $r$-set…

A well-known special case of a conjecture attributed to Ryser states that k-partite intersecting hypergraphs have transversals of at most k-1 vertices. An equivalent form was formulated by Gy\'arf\'as: if the edges of a complete graph K are…

Fix $r \ge 2$ and a collection of $r$-uniform hypergraphs $\cH$. What is the minimum number of edges in an $\cH$-free $r$-uniform hypergraph with chromatic number greater than $k$. We investigate this question for various $\cH$. Our results…

We consider the classical Minimum Crossing Number problem: given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, compute a drawing of $G$ in the plane, while minimizing the number of crossings between the images of its edges. This is a fundamental and extensively…

We consider the problem of discovering overlapping communities in networks which we model as generalizations of Graph Packing problems with overlap. We seek a collection $\mathcal{S}' \subseteq \mathcal{S}$ consisting of at least $k$ sets…

Given two $k$-graphs $H$ and $F$, a perfect $F$-packing in $H$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of $F$ in $H$ which together cover all the vertices in $H$. In the case when $F$ is a single edge, a perfect $F$-packing is simply a…

A tripartite-circle drawing of a tripartite graph is a drawing in the plane, where each part of a vertex partition is placed on one of three disjoint circles, and the edges do not cross the circles. The tripartite-circle crossing number of…

A partition on $[n]$ has a crossing if there exists $i\_1<i\_2<j\_1<j\_2$ such that $i\_1$ and $j\_1$ are in the same block, $i\_2$ and $j\_2$ are in the same block, but $i\_1$ and $i\_2$ are not in the same block. Recently, Chen et al.…

Given nonnegative integers, $s$ and $k$, an $(s,k)$-polar partition of a graph $G$ is a partition $(A,B)$ of $V_G$ such that $G[A]$ and $\overline{G[B]}$ are complete multipartite graphs with at most $s$ and $k$ parts, respectively. If $s$…

In the {\sc Hitting Set} problem, we are given a collection $\cal F$ of subsets of a ground set $V$ and an integer $p$, and asked whether $V$ has a $p$-element subset that intersects each set in $\cal F$. We consider two parameterizations…

For a given $\pi=(\pi_0, \pi_1,..., \pi_k) \in \{0, 1, *\}^{k+1}$, we want to determine whether an input $k$-uniform hypergraph $G=(V, E)$ has a partition $(V_1, V_2)$ of the vertex set so that for all $X \subseteq V$ of size $k$, $X \in E$…

Given hypergraphs H and F, an F-factor in H is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of F. Let K_4^3-e denote the 3-uniform hypergraph on 4 vertices with 3 edges. We show that for \gamma>0 there exists an integer n_0 such…

Let $n$, $r$, $k_1,\ldots,k_r$ and $t$ be positive integers with $r\geq 2$, and $\mathcal{F}_i\ (1\leq i\leq r)$ a family of $k_i$-subsets of an $n$-set $V$. The families $\mathcal{F}_1,\ \mathcal{F}_2,\ldots,\mathcal{F}_r$ are said to be…

Given integer $k$ and a $k$-graph $F$, let $t_{k-1}(n,F)$ be the minimum integer $t$ such that every $k$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices with codegree at least $t$ contains an $F$-factor. For integers $k\geq3$ and $0\leq\ell\leq k-1$, let…

A family of sets is said to be \emph{intersecting} if any two sets in the family have nonempty intersection. In 1973, Erd\H{o}s raised the problem of determining the maximum possible size of a union of $r$ different intersecting families of…

Given two $r$-uniform hypergraphs $F$ and $H$, we say that $H$ has an $F$-covering if every vertex in $H$ is contained in a copy of $F$. Let $c_{i}(n,F)$ be the least integer such that every $n$-vertex $r$-graph $H$ with…
