The celebrated Mantel's theorem states that any triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices contains at most $\left\lfloor n^2/4\right\rfloor$ edges. It is natural to ask how many triangles must exist in a graph with more than $\left\lfloor…

We start a systematic investigation concerning bipartite Tur\'an number for trees. For a graph $F$ and integers $1 \leq a \leq b$ we define: $(i)$\quad $ex_b(a, b, F)$ is the largest number of edges that an $F$-free bipartite graph can have…

Let $k$ be a positive integer and let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. A subset $D \subseteq V(G)$ is a $k$-dominating set if every vertex outside $D$ is adjacent to at least $k$ vertices in $D$. The $k$-domination number…

One of the most fundamental results in graph theory is Mantel's theorem which determines the maximum number of edges in a triangle-free graph of order $n$. Recently a colorful variant of this problem has been solved. In such a variant we…

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph without loops and multiple edges on $v\ge 4$ vertices, which can be drawn on the plane such that any edge intersects at most one other edge. We prove that such graph has at most $3v-8$ edges for even $v\ne 6$…

A classic result in extremal graph theory, known as Mantel's theorem, states that every non-bipartite graph of order $n$ with size $m>\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4}\rfloor$ contains a triangle. Lin, Ning and Wu [Comb. Probab. Comput. 30 (2021)…

The scramble number of a graph provides a lower bound for gonality and an upper bound for treewidth, making it a graph invariant of interest. In this paper we study graphs of scramble number at most two, and give a classification of all…

Given a signed bipartite graph $(B, \pi)$ of negative girth $2k$, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for it to have the following property: each signed bipartite graph $(G, \sigma)$ whose negative girth is at least $2k$ and…

In this paper we obtain some upper bounds for $b$-chromatic number of $K_{1,t}$ -free graphs, graphs with given minimum clique partition and bipartite graphs. These bounds are in terms of either clique number or chromatic number of graphs…

In [1] the problem of finding a sharp lower bound on lower against number of a general graph is mentioned as an open question. We solve the problem by establishing a tight lower bound on lower against number of a general graph in terms of…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $2n$ vertices and a perfect matching. We denote by $f(G)$ and $F(G)$ the minimum and maximum forcing number of $G$, respectively. Hetyei obtained that the maximum number of edges of graphs $G$ with a unique…

For a given graph $F$, the $F$-saturation number of a graph $G$, denoted by $ {sat}(G, F)$, is the minimum number of edges in an edge-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. In 2017, Kor\'andi and Sudakov determined $ {sat}({G}(n, p), K_r)$…

Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs that have both arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case where such graphs are bipartite. As main results, we show that in this context the Moore-like…
