Chv\'atal, R\"odl, Szemer\'edi and Trotter proved that the Ramsey numbers of graphs of bounded maximum degree are linear in their order. We prove that the same holds for 3-uniform hypergraphs. The main new tool which we prove and use is an…

Let $\lambda\geq2$ be an integer. For strongly regular graphs with parameters $(v, k, a,c)$ and smallest eigenvalue $-\lambda$, Neumaier gave two bounds on $c$ by using algebraic property of strongly regular graphs. In this paper, we will…

We consider the problem of decomposing the edges of a digraph into as few paths as possible. A natural lower bound for the number of paths in any path decomposition of a digraph $D$ is $\frac{1}{2}\sum_{v\in V(D)}|d^+(v)-d^-(v)|$; any…

A coloring of vertices of a graph is called perfect if, for every vertex, the collection of colors of its neighbors depends only on its own color. The correspondent color partition of vertices is called equitable. We note that a number of…

Ramsey theory is a central and active branch of combinatorics. Although Ramsey numbers for graphs have been extensively investigated since Ramsey's work in the 1930s, there is still an exponential gap between the best known lower and upper…

Let $\mathrm{ex}(G_{n,p}^r,F)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of the random $r$-uniform hypergraph $G_{n,p}^r$, and let $s(F):=\sup\{s: \exists H,\ t_F(H)=t_{K_r^r}(H)^{s+e(F)}>0\}$. Following recent work of…

It is well-known that if $(A,B)$ is an $\tfrac{\varepsilon}{2}$-regular pair (in the sense of Szemer\'edi) then there exist sets $A'\subset A$ and $B'\subset B'$ with $|A'|\leq \varepsilon|A|$ and $|B'|\leq \varepsilon|B|$ so that the…

We develop a new method for constructing approximate decompositions of dense graphs into sparse graphs and apply it to longstanding decomposition problems. For instance, our results imply the following. Let $G$ be a quasi-random $n$-vertex…

A long-standing open question is which graph class is the most general one permitting constant-time constant-factor approximations for dominating sets. The approximation ratio has been bounded by increasingly general parameters such as…

Ahlswede and Cai proved that if a simple graph has nested solutions (NS) under the edge-isoperimetric problems, and the lexicographic (lex) order produces NS for its second cartesian power,then the lex order produces NS for any finite…

We give lower bounds on the maximum possible girth of an $r$-uniform, $d$-regular hypergraph with at most $n$ vertices, using the definition of a hypergraph cycle due to Berge. These differ from the trivial upper bound by an absolute…

We introduce the Density Formula for (topological) drawings of graphs in the plane or on the sphere, which relates the number of edges, vertices, crossings, and sizes of cells in the drawing. We demonstrate its capability by providing…

By using the Szemer\'edi Regularity Lemma, Alon and Sudakov recently extended the classical Andr\'asfai-Erd\~os-S\'os theorem to cover general graphs. We prove, without using the Regularity Lemma, that the following stronger statement is…

A classic conjecture of F\"{u}redi, Kahn and Seymour (1993) states that given any hypergraph with non-negative edge weights $w(e)$, there exists a matching $M$ such that $\sum_{e \in M} (|e|-1+1/|e|)\, w(e) \geq w^*$, where $w^*$ is the…

A graph $H$ is common if its Ramsey multiplicity, i.e., the minimum number of monochromatic copies of $H$ contained in any $2$-edge-coloring of $K_n$, is asymptotically the same as the number of monochromatic copies in the random…

Given a set of $n$ points in $R^2$, the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem establishes that the number of lines which can be incident to at least $k > 1$ of these points is $O(n^2/k^3 + n/k)$. J.\ Solymosi conjectured that if one requires the…

The sparse analogue of Szemer\'edi's regularity method has played a central role in the development of extremal results for random graphs. While the sparse embedding lemma (the KLR conjecture) has been resolved, the corresponding sparse…

A \emph{$k$-planar graph} is a graph that can be drawn in the plane such that every edge is crossed at most $k$ times. For $k \leq 4$, Pach and T\'oth proved a bound of $(k+3)(n-2)$ on the total number of edges of a $k$-planar graph, which…

We establish new lower bounds for the Tur\'an and Zarankiewicz numbers of certain apex partite hypergraphs. Given a $(d-1)$-partite $(d-1)$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, let $\mathcal{H}(k)$ be the $d$-partite $d$-uniform hypergraph…

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph. We give a lower bound for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the toric ideal $I_G$ associated to $G$ in terms of the sizes and number of induced complete bipartite graphs in $G$. When $G$ is a chordal…
