A set cover of a hypergraph $H$ is a set of vertices intersecting every hyperedge. In the minimum sum set cover problem, vertices are selected one by one; each edge pays the position of the first vertex that hits it, and the objective is to…

For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of $2's$ and $1's$, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of $m$-matchings. We find the…

For fixed integers $r\ge 3,e\ge 3,v\ge r+1$, an $r$-uniform hypergraph is called $\mathscr{G}_r(v,e)$-free if the union of any $e$ distinct edges contains at least $v+1$ vertices. Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'{o}s showed that the maximum number…

Let $r \ge 3$ be fixed and $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph. A long-standing conjecture of Gy\H{o}ri states that if $e(G) = t_{r-1}(n) + k$, where $t_{r-1}(n)$ denotes the number of edges of the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices and $r - 1$ parts,…

A family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ is $H$-intersecting if the edge intersection of any two graphs in $\mathcal{F}$ contains a copy of a fixed graph $H$. A fundamental problem is to determine the maximum size of such a family. The trivial…

Research about crossings is typically about minimization. In this paper, we consider \emph{maximizing} the number of crossings over all possible ways to draw a given graph in the plane. Alpert et al. [Electron. J. Combin., 2009] conjectured…

Let $H$ be a complete $r$-uniform hypergraph such that two vertices are marked in each edge as its `boundary' vertices. A linear ordering of the vertex set of $H$ is called an {\em agreeing linear order}, provided all vertices of each edge…

How many graphs on an $n$-point set can we find such that any two have connected intersection? Berger, Berkowitz, Devlin, Doppelt, Durham, Murthy and Vemuri showed that the maximum is exactly $1/2^{n-1}$ of all graphs. Our aim in this short…

Given a labeled graph $H$ with vertex set $\{1, 2,\ldots,n\}$, the ordered Ramsey number $r_<(H)$ is the minimum $N$ such that every two-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on $\{1, 2, \ldots,N\}$ contains a copy of $H$ with…

A hypergraph is said to be $1$-Sperner if for every two hyperedges the smallest of their two set differences is of size one. We present several applications of $1$-Sperner hypergraphs and their structure to graphs. In particular, we…

Given an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$, the multicolor Ramsey number $r_k(H)$ is the minimum $n$ such that every $k$-coloring of the edges of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph $K_n^r$ yields a monochromatic copy of $H$. We investigate…

We consider the maximum chromatic number of hypergraphs consisting of cliques that have pairwise small intersections. Designs of the appropriate parameters produce optimal constructions, but these are known to exist only when the number of…

Given positive integers k\geq 3 and r where k/2 \leq r \leq k-1, we give a minimum r-degree condition that ensures a perfect matching in a k-uniform hypergraph. This condition is best possible and improves on work of Pikhurko who gave an…

Let integer $n \ge 3$ and integer $r = r(n) \ge 3$. Define the binomial random $r$-uniform hypergraph $H_r(n, p)$ to be the $r$-uniform graph on the vertex set $[n]$ such that each $r$-set is an edge independently with probability $p$. A…

Albertson conjectured that every graph with chromatic number $r$ has crossing number at least the crossing number of the complete graph $K_r$. This conjecture was proved for $r\le 12$ by Albertson, Cranston, and Fox; for $r\le 16$ by…

A transversal coalition in a hypergraph $H$ is a partition of the vertex set $U$ into two subsets $U_1$ and $U_2$ such that neither $U_1$ nor $U_2$ alone intersects every hyperedge of $H$, but their union, $U_1 \cup U_2$, intersects every…
