Let $m$, $n$, and $k$ be integers satisfying $0 < k \leq n < 2k \leq m$. A family of sets $\mathcal{F}$ is called an $(m,n,k)$-intersecting family if $\binom{[n]}{k} \subseteq \mathcal{F} \subseteq \binom{[m]}{k}$ and any pair of members of…

Recently, Bennett et al. introduced the vertex-induced weighted Tur\'an problem. In this paper, we consider their open Tur\'an problem under sum-edge-weight function and characterize the extremal structure of $K_{l}$-free graphs. Based on…

Given a graph G = (V,E), a vertex subset S is called t-stable (or t-dependent) if the subgraph G[S] induced on S has maximum degree at most t. The t-stability number of G is the maximum order of a t-stable set in G. We investigate the…

For a graph $G$, denote by $t_r(G)$ (resp. $b_r(G)$) the maximum size of a $K_r$-free (resp. $(r-1)$-partite) subgraph of $G$. Of course $t_r(G) \geq b_r(G)$ for any $G$, and Tur\'an's Theorem says that equality holds for complete graphs.…

Given a graph $T$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph on $n$ vertices is called the generalized Tur\'{a}n number, denoted by $ex(n, T , \mathcal{F})$. When $T= K_2$, it…

Given a graph $F$, the expansion $F^{(r)}$ of $F$ is defined as the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $F$ by adding a set of $(r-2)$ distinct new vertices to each edge of $F$. In this paper, we investigate spectral stability results for…

A square (0,1)-matrix X of order n > 0 is called fully indecomposable if there exists no integer k with 0 < k < n, such that X has a k by n-k zero submatrix. A stable set of a graph G is a subset of pairwise nonadjacent vertices. The…

Let $n,k,s$ be three integers and $\beta$ be a sufficiently small positive number such that $k\geq 3$, $0<1/n\ll \beta\ll 1/k$ and $ks+k\leq n\leq (1+\beta)ks+k-2$. A $k$-graph is called non-trivial if it has no isolated vertex. In this…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s asserts that for $k\ge 3$, the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph without $s+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $\max\{\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-s}{k},\binom{sk+k-1}{k}\}$. This problem…

In this paper we continue the study of a natural generalization of Tur\'an's forbidden subgraph problem and the Ruzsa-Szemer\'edi problem. Let $ex_F(n,G)$ denote the maximum number of edge-disjoint copies of a fixed simple graph $F$ that…

A well-known result of Ajtai et al. from 1982 states that every $k$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices, with girth at least five, and average degree $t^{k-1}$ contains an independent set of size $c n (\log t)^{1/(k-1)}/t$ for some $c>0$. In this…

The celebrated Hadwiger's conjecture states that if a graph contains no $K_{t+1}$ minor then it is $t$-colourable. If true, it would in particular imply that every $n$-vertex $K_{t+1}$-minor-free graph has an independent set of size at…

We investigate some coloring properties of Kneser graphs. A star-free coloring is a proper coloring $c:V(G)\to \Bbb{N}$ such that no path with three vertices may be colored with just two consecutive numbers. The minimum positive integer $t$…

We consider an infinite version of the bipartite Tur\'{a}n problem. Let $G$ be an infinite graph with $V(G) = \mathbb{N}$ and let $G_n$ be the $n$-vertex subgraph of $G$ induced by the vertices $\{1,2, \dots, n \}$. We show that if $G$ is…

Fix graphs $F$ and $H$ and let $ex(n,H,F)$ denote the maximum possible number of copies of the graph $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. The systematic study of this function was initiated by Alon and Shikhelman [{\it J. Comb. Theory, B}.…

For a graph $G$ and a parameter $k$, we call a vertex $k$-enabling if it belongs both to a clique of size $k$ and to an independent set of size $k$, and we call it $k$-excluding otherwise. Motivated by issues that arise in secret sharing…

We consider the Tur\'an-type problem of bounding the size of a set $M \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$ that does not contain a linear copy of a given fixed set $N \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^k$, where $n$ is large compared to $k$. An Erd\H{o}s-Stone…
