Given a graph $F$, a hypergraph is called a Berge-$F$ if it can be obtained by expanding each edge of $F$ into a hyperedge containing it. Let $M_{k}$ denote the matching of size $k$. Kang, Ni, and Shan [12] determined the Tur\'an number of…

A graph $H$ is $K_s$-saturated if it is a maximal $K_s$-free graph, i.e., $H$ contains no clique on $s$ vertices, but the addition of any missing edge creates one. The minimum number of edges in a $K_s$-saturated graph was determined over…

For an edge-ordered graph $G$, we say that an $n$-vertex edge-ordered graph $H$ is $G$-saturated if it is $G$-free and adding any new edge with any new label to $H$ introduces a copy of $G$. The saturation function describes the minimum…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\mathcal{H}$ be a family of graphs. We say $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ with $H\in\mathcal{H}$, but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy of some…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph. A graph $G$ is called {\it $H$-saturated} if $H$ is not a subgraph of $G$ but the addition of any missing edge to $G$ results in an $H$-subgraph. The {\it saturation number} of $H$, denoted $sat(n,H)$, is the…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of graphs. We say a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{F}$-saturated if $G$ does not contain any member in $\mathcal{F}$ and for any $e\in E(\overline{G})$, $G+e$ creates a copy of some member in $…

A Berge $k$-factor in a hypergraph is a generalization of a $k$-factor in a graph. In this paper, we study the problem of determining the values $k$ such that every $\lambda$-edge-connected $r$-regular hypergraph $\HH$ with $k|V(\HH)|$ even…

For a given graph $F$, the $F$-saturation number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges in an edge-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. Recently, the $F$-saturation number of the Erd\H{o}s$\text{\bf--}$R\'enyi random graph…

Given graphs $G$ and $H$, $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy of $H$ within $G$. The edge spectrum of $H$ is the set of all possible sizes of an…

In this paper we generalize the concept of uniquely $K_r$-saturated graphs to hypergraphs. Let $K_r^{(k)}$ denote the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $r$ vertices. For integers $k,r,n$ such that $2\le k <r<n$, a $k$-uniform hypergraph…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, a subgraph $G\subseteq H$ is an $F$-saturated subgraph of $H$ if $F\nsubseteq G$, but $F\subseteq G+e$ for all $e\in E(H)\setminus E(G)$. The saturation number of $F$ in $H$, denoted $\text{sat}(H,F)$, is the…

For a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain $H$ as a subgraph but for any $e \in E(\overline{G})$, $G+e$ contains $H$. In this note, we prove a sharp lower bound for the number of paths and walks on length $2$ in…

Fix a hypergraph $\mathcal{F}$. A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called a {\it Berge copy of $\mathcal{F}$} or {\it Berge-$\mathcal{F}$} if we can choose a subset of each hyperedge of $\mathcal{H}$ to obtain a copy of $\mathcal{F}$. A…

For a fixed set of positive integers $R$, we say $\mathcal{H}$ is an $R$-uniform hypergraph, or $R$-graph, if the cardinality of each edge belongs to $R$. An $R$-graph $\mathcal{H}$ is \emph{covering} if every vertex pair of $\mathcal{H}$…

A graph $G$ is $H$-saturated for a graph $H$, if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ but adding any new edge to $G$ results in such a copy. An $H$-saturated graph on a given number of vertices always exists and the properties of such graphs,…
