A central problem in extremal graph theory is to estimate, for a given graph $H$, the number of $H$-free graphs on a given set of $n$ vertices. In the case when $H$ is not bipartite, fairly precise estimates on this number are known. In…

We combine two generalizations of ordinary Tur\'an problems. Given graphs $H$ and $F$ and a positive integer $n$, we study $rex(n, H, F )$, which is the largest number of copies of $H$ in $F$-free regular $n$-vertex graphs.

The $t$-colored rainbow saturation number $rsat_t(n,F)$ is the minimum size of a $t$-edge-colored graph on $n$ vertices that contains no rainbow copy of $F$, but the addition of any missing edge in any color creates such a rainbow copy.…

Let $G$ be a $K_4$-free graph, an edge in its complement is a $K_4$-\emph{saturating} edge if the addition of this edge to $G$ creates a copy of $K_4$. Erd\H{o}s and Tuza conjectured that for any $n$-vertex $K_4$-free graph $G$ with…

Geschke proved that there is clopen graph on $2^\omega$ which is 3-saturated, but the clopen graphs on $2^\omega$ do not even have infinite subgraphs that are 4-saturated; however there is $F_\sigma$ graph that is $\omega_1$-saturated. It…

Given two graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized planar Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}_\mathcal{P}(n,H,F)$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ that an $n$-vertex $F$-free planar graph can have. We investigate this function when $H$ and $F$ are…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hypergraph and $F$ be a graph. If there exists a bijection between the hyperedges of $\mathcal{H}$ and the edges of $F$ such that each hyperedge contains its image, then we say that $\mathcal{H}$ is a \textit{Berge…

The generalized Tur\'{a}n number $ex(n,K_s,H)$ is the maximum number of complete graph $K_s$ in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. Let $F_k$ be the friendship graph consisting of $k$ triangles. Erd\H{o}s and S\'os (1976) determined the…

In this note, we fix a graph $H$ and ask into how many vertices can each vertex of a clique of size $n$ can be "split" such that the resulting graph is $H$-free. Formally: A graph is an $(n,k)$-graph if its vertex sets is a pairwise…

For graphs $F$ and $H$, let $i(F)$ denote the inducibility of $F$ and let $i_H(F)$ denote the inducibility of $F$ over $H$-free graphs. We prove that for almost all graphs $F$ on a given number of vertices, $i_{K_k}(F)$ attains infinitely…

Given $k\ge 2$ and two $k$-graphs ($k$-uniform hypergraphs) $F$ and $H$, an $F$-factor in $H$ is a set of vertex-disjoint copies of $F$ that together covers the vertex set of $H$. Lenz and Mubayi [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2016] studied the…

Given a set $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, we call a copy of a graph in $\mathcal{F}$ an $\mathcal{F}$-graph. The $\mathcal{F}$-isolation number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\iota(G,\mathcal{F})$, is the size of a smallest set $D$ of vertices of…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph $G$ is $\mathscr{F}$-free if $G$ does not contain any $F\in \mathscr{F}$ as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number, denoted by $ex(n, \mathscr{F})$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex…

One of the most basic questions one can ask about a graph $H$ is: how many $H$-free graphs on $n$ vertices are there? For non-bipartite $H$, the answer to this question has been well-understood since 1986, when Erd\H{o}s, Frankl and R\"odl…

A graph $G = (V,E)$ is said to be saturated with respect to a monotone increasing graph property ${\mathcal P}$, if $G \notin {\mathcal P}$ but $G \cup \{e\} \in {\mathcal P}$ for every $e \in \binom{V}{2} \setminus E$. The saturation game…
