Let $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ be two integers with $n_{1},n_{2}\geq3$ and $G$ a graph of order $n=n_{1}+n_{2}$. As a generalization of Ore's degree condition for the existence of Hamilton cycle in $G$, El-Zahar proved that if $\delta(G)\geq…

A graph $G$ is $m$-joined if there is an edge between every two disjoint $m$-sets of vertices. In this paper, we prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ and sufficiently large $m, n\in \mathbb{N}$ with $m \le n^{1-\varepsilon}$, every $n$-vertex…

In 1963, Corr\'adi and Hajnal proved that for all $k\geq1$ and $n\geq3k$, every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $\delta(G)\geq2k$ contains $k$ disjoint cycles. The bound $\delta(G) \geq 2k$ is sharp. Here we characterize those…

Let $G$ be a $t$-tough graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ with $t>1$. It is proved that if $\delta\ge(n-2)/3$ then each longest cycle in $G$ is a dominating cycle.

A chord of a cycle $C$ is an edge joining two non-consecutive vertices of $C$. A cycle $C$ in a graph $G$ is chorded if the vertex set of $C$ induces at least one chord. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a graph with order $n\geq 6$…

Given a graph $H$ and a set of graphs $\mathcal F$, let $ex(n,H,\mathcal F)$ denote the maximum possible number of copies of $H$ in an $\mathcal F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We investigate the function $ex(n,H,\mathcal F)$, when $H$ and…

A topological graph drawn on a cylinder whose base is horizontal is \emph{angularly monotone} if every vertical line intersects every edge at most once. Let $c(n)$ denote the maximum number $c$ such that every simple angularly monotone…

We prove that any $n$-vertex graph whose complement is triangle-free contains $n^2/12-o(n^2)$ edge-disjoint triangles. This is tight for the disjoint union of two cliques of order $n/2$. We also prove a corresponding stability theorem, that…

We prove the following theorem. Let $r\ge 4$ be an integer, and $G$ be a $K_{1,r}$-free $r$-edge-connected $r$-regular graph. Then, for every set $W$ of even number of vertices of $G$ such that the distance between any two vertices of $W$…

We show that for any $d\ge 2$ and $\Delta>0$ there exists $\eta>0$ such that the following holds: Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with at least $\Omega(n^2)$ edges and let $H$ be an $n$-vertex $d$-degenerate graph with maximum degree at most…

We show that, for any graph $F$ and $\eta>0$, there exists a $d_0=d_0(F,\eta)$ such that every $n$-vertex $d$-regular graph with $d \geq d_0$ has a collection of vertex-disjoint $F$-subdivisions covering at least $(1-\eta)n$ vertices. This…

We show that for every two cycles $C,D$, there exists $c>0$ such that if $G$ is both $C$-free and $\overline{D}$-free then $G$ has a clique or stable set of size at least $|G|^c$. ("$H$-free" means with no induced subgraph isomorphic to…

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Let $G$ be a balanced bipartite graph of order $2n$ with bipartition $(X, Y)$, and $S$ a subset of $X$. Suppose that every pair of nonadjacent vertices $(x,y)$ with $x\in S, y\in Y$ satisfies $d(x)+d(y)\geq…

We prove for every graph H there exists a>0 such that, for every graph G with at least two vertices, if no induced subgraph of G is a subdivision of H, then either some vertex of G has at least a|G| neighbours, or there are two disjoint…

It is conjectured that every edge-colored complete graph $G$ on $n$ vertices satisfying $\Delta^{mon}(G)\leq n-3k+1$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint properly edge-colored cycles. We confirm this conjecture for $k=2$, prove several additional…

A monotone cylindrical graph is a topological graph drawn on an open cylinder with an infinite vertical axis satisfying the condition that every vertical line intersects every edge at most once. It is called simple if any pair of its edges…

We prove that the crossing number of a graph decays in a continuous fashion in the following sense. For any epsilon>0 there is a delta>0 such that for a sufficiently large n, every graph G with n vertices and m > n^{1+epsilon} edges, has a…

For graphs $G_0$, $G_1$ and $G_2$, write $G_0\longmapsto(G_1, G_2)$ if each red-blue-edge-coloring of $G_0$ yields a red $G_1$ or a blue $G_2$. The Ramsey number $r(G_1, G_2)$ is the minimum number $n$ such that the complete graph…

A graph $G$ is $(c,t)$-sparse if for every pair of vertex subsets $A,B\subset V(G)$ with $|A|,|B|\geq t$, $e(A,B)\leq (1-c)|A||B|$. In this paper we prove that for every $c>0$ and integer $\ell$, there exists $C>1$ such that if an…
