Given a graph $G$, the strong clique number of $G$, denoted $\omega_S(G)$, is the maximum size of a set $S$ of edges such that every pair of edges in $S$ has distance at most $2$ in the line graph of $G$. As a relaxation of the renowned…

We study $\mathrm{exa}_k(n,F)$, the largest number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph $G$ that contains exactly $k$ copies of a given subgraph $F$. The case $k=0$ is the Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,F)$ that is among the most studied…

Let $G\sim G(n,p)$ be a (hidden) Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph with $p=(1+ \varepsilon)/n$ for some fixed constant $ \varepsilon >0$. Ferber, Krivelevich, Sudakov, and Vieira showed that to reveal a path of length…

Turan's Theorem states that every graph of a certain edge density contains a complete graph $K^k$ and describes the unique extremal graphs. We give a similar Theorem for l-partite graphs. For large l, we find the minimal edge density…

The MaxCut problem asks for the size ${\rm mc}(G)$ of a largest cut in a graph $G$. It is well known that ${\rm mc}(G)\ge m/2$ for any $m$-edge graph $G$, and the difference ${\rm mc}(G)-m/2$ is called the surplus of $G$. The study of the…

We prove a far-reaching strengthening of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma for intersection graphs of pseudo-segments. It shows that the vertex set of such a graph can be partitioned into a bounded number of parts of roughly the same size such…

We consider problems of finding a maximum size/weight $t$-matching without forbidden subgraphs in an undirected graph $G$ with the maximum degree bounded by $t+1$, where $t$ is an integer greater than $2$. Depending on the variant forbidden…

We show that, assuming the (deterministic) Exponential Time Hypothesis, distinguishing between a graph with an induced $k$-clique and a graph in which all k-subgraphs have density at most $1-\epsilon$, requires $n^{\tilde \Omega(log n)}$…

For a graph $F$, the $k$-subdivision of $F$, denoted $F^k$, is the graph obtained by replacing the edges of $F$ with internally vertex-disjoint paths of length $k$. In this paper, we prove that…

Let $\lambda(G)$ be the smallest number of vertices that can be removed from a non-empty graph $G$ so that the resulting graph has a smaller maximum degree. Let $\lambda_{\rm e}(G)$ be the smallest number of edges that can be removed from…

We say that a graph G is $(k,\ell)$-stable if removing $k$ vertices from it reduces its independence number by at most $\ell$. We say that G is tight $(k,\ell)$-stable if it is $(k,\ell)$-stable and its independence number equals…

A graph $G$ is \textit{$k$-critical} if $\chi(G) = k$ and every proper subgraph of $G$ is $(k - 1)$-colorable, and if $L$ is a list-assignment for $G$, then $G$ is \textit{$L$-critical} if $G$ is not $L$-colorable but every proper induced…

A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-subspace choosable over a field $\mathbb{F}$ if for every assignment of $k$-dimensional subspaces of some finite-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}$ to the vertices of $G$, it is possible to choose for…

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n\geq 2$ and let $k\in \{1,\ldots ,n-1\}$. The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-subsets of $V(G)$, where two vertices are adjacent in $F_k(G)$ whenever their…

The (k,d)-hypersimplex is a (d-1)-dimensional polytope whose vertices are the (0,1)-vectors that sum to k. When k=1, we get a simplex whose graph is the complete graph with d vertices. Here we show how many of the well known graph…

We study the following question raised by Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal in the early 90's. Over all $n$-vertex graphs $G$ what is the smallest possible value of $m$ for which any $m$ vertices of $G$ contain both a clique and an independent set of…

Given a graph and two integers $k$ and $\ell$, Partial Vertex Cover asks for a set of at most $k$ vertices whose deletion results in a graph with at most $\ell$ edges. Based on the expansion lemma, we provide a problem kernel with $(\ell +…

A $ k $-page book drawing of a graph $ G $ is a drawing of $ G $ on $ k $ halfplanes with common boundary $ l $, a line, where the vertices are on $ l $ and the edges cannot cross $ l $. The $ k $-page book crossing number of the graph $ G…

Let $k,a,b$ be positive integers with $a+b=k$. A $k$-uniform hypergraph is called an $(a,b)$-cycle if there is a partition $(A_0,B_0,A_1,B_1,\ldots,A_{t-1},B_{t-1})$ of the vertex set with $|A_i|=a$, $|B_i|=b$ such that $A_i\cup B_i$ and…

Given an integer $k\geq 3$ and an initial $k-1$ isolated vertices, an {\em antiregular $k$-hypergraph} is constructed by alternatively adding an isolated vertex (connected to no other vertices) or a dominating vertex (connected to every…
