An (h,s,t)-representation of a graph G consists of a collection of subtrees of a tree T, where each subtree corresponds to a vertex of G such that (i) the maximum degree of T is at most h, (ii) every subtree has maximum degree at mots s,…

Hypergraph data, which capture multi-way interactions among entities, are increasingly prevalent in the big data era. Generating new hyperlinks from an observed, usually high-dimensional hypergraph is an important yet challenging task with…

We continue the study of the recently-introduced C123-framework, for (simple) graph problems restricted to inputs specified by the forbidding of some finite set of subgraphs, to more general graph problems possibly involving multiedges and…

Motivated by the analogous questions in graphs, we study the complexity of coloring and stable set problems in hypergraphs with forbidden substructures and bounded edge size. Letting $\nu(G)$ denote the maximum size of a matching in $H$, we…

Fractional graph isomorphism is the linear relaxation of an integer programming formulation of graph isomorphism. It preserves some invariants of graphs, like degree sequences and equitable partitions, but it does not preserve others like…

Let $k$ be a fixed integer. We determine the complexity of finding a $p$-partition $(V_1, \dots, V_p)$ of the vertex set of a given digraph such that the maximum out-degree of each of the digraphs induced by $V_i$, ($1\leq i\leq p$) is at…

We consider geometric hypergraphs whose vertex set is a finite set of points (e.g., in the plane), and whose hyperedges are the intersections of this set with a family of geometric regions (e.g., axis-parallel rectangles). A typical…

Hypergraphs are a generalization of graphs in which edges can connect any number of vertices. They allow the modeling of complex networks with higher-order interactions, and their spectral theory studies the qualitative properties that can…

A dominating induced matching, also called an efficient edge domination, of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n=|V|$ vertices and $m=|E|$ edges is a subset $F \subseteq E$ of edges in the graph such that no two edges in $F$ share a common endpoint…

Motivated by the theorem of Gy\H ori and Lov\'asz, we consider the following problem. For a connected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges determine the number $P(G,k)$ of unordered solutions of positive integers $\sum_{i=1}^k m_i = m$…

Random hypergraphs extend the classical notion of random graphs by allowing hyperedges to join more than two vertices, making them well-suited for modeling higher-order interactions in complex systems. Despite their broad applicability,…

A hypergraph is a set V of vertices and a set of non-empty subsets of V, called hyperedges. Unlike graphs, hypergraphs can capture higher-order interactions in social and communication networks that go beyond a simple union of pairwise…

It is well-known that the graphs not containing a given graph H as a subgraph have bounded chromatic number if and only if H is acyclic. Here we consider ordered graphs, i.e., graphs with a linear ordering on their vertex set, and the…

An edge-coloring of a hypergraph is {\em spanning} if every vertex sees every color used in the coloring. In this paper, we prove that for $k \geq 2r \geq 6$, in any spanning $k$-coloring of the edges of a complete $r$-partite $r$-uniform…

For any graph $H$, let ${\rm Forb}^*(H)$ be the class of graphs with no induced subdivision of $H$. It was conjectured in [A.D. Scott, Induced trees in graphs of large chromatic number, {\em Journal of Graph Theory}, 24:297--311, 1997]…

Given graphs $F,H$ and $G$, we say that $G$ is $(F,H)_v$-Ramsey if every red/blue vertex colouring of $G$ contains a red copy of $F$ or a blue copy of $H$. Results of {\L}uczak, Ruci\'nski and Voigt and, subsequently, Kreuter determine the…

Two central problems in extremal combinatorics are concerned with estimating the number $ex(n,H)$, the size of the largest $H$-free hypergraph on $n$ vertices, and the number $forb(n,H)$ of $H$-free hypergraph on $n$ vertices. While it is…

For a fixed graph $H$ on $k$ vertices, and a graph $G$ on at least $k$ vertices, we write $G\rightarrow H$ if in any vertex-coloring of $G$ with $k$ colors, there is an induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$ whose vertices have distinct colors.…

For a graph $F$, a graph $G$ is \emph{$F$-free} if it does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to $F$. For two graphs $G$ and $H$, an \emph{$H$-coloring} of $G$ is a mapping $f:V(G)\rightarrow V(H)$ such that for every edge $uv\in…
