Let $n,k,t$ be positive integers. What is the maximum number of arcs in a digraph on $n$ vertices in which there are at most $t$ distinct walks of length $k$ with the same endpoints? In this paper, we prove that the maximum number is equal…

Let $H$ be a $3$-regular $4$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices. The transversal number $\tau(H)$ of $H$ is the minimum number of vertices that intersect every edge. Lai and Chang [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 50 (1990), 129--133] proved that…

We show that every sufficiently large oriented graph $G$ with minimum indegree and outdegree both at least $(3|V(G)|-1)/8$ contains every orientation of a Hamilton cycle. This result improves the approximate bound established by Kelly and…

We prove that every $n$-vertex tournament $G$ has an acyclic subgraph with chromatic number at least $n^{5/9-o(1)}$, while there exists an $n$-vertex tournament $G$ whose every acyclic subgraph has chromatic number at most $n^{3/4+o(1)}$.…

The theory of tournament limits and tournament kernels (often called graphons) is developed by extending common notions for finite tournaments to this setting; in particular we study transitivity and irreducibility of limits and kernels. We…

A new approach to find all the transitive orientations for a comparability graph (finite or infinite) is presented. This approach is based on the link between the notion of ``strong'' partitive set and the forcing theory (notions of…

In this paper we investigate results of the form "every graph $G$ has a cycle $C$ such that the induced subgraph of $G$ on $V(G)\setminus V(C)$ has small maximum degree." Such results haven't been studied before, but are motivated by the…

Dean conjectured that for each integer $k \ge 3$, every graph with minimum degree at least $k$ has a cycle whose length is divisible by $k$; this conjecture is known to be true for all $k\neq 5$. For $k\in\{3,4\}$, stronger statements are…

We determine the inducibility of all tournaments with at most $4$ vertices together with the extremal constructions. The $4$-vertex tournament containing an oriented $C_3$ and one source vertex has a particularly interesting extremal…

We consider the following problem: let $n>k$ be natural numbers, and let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices (undirected, without loops or multiple edges). Denote by $h_k(G)$ the number of unordered pairs of vertices in the graph $G$ whose…

Bounds on the minimum degree and on the number of vertices at- taining it have been much studied for finite edge-/vertex-minimally k- connected/k-edge-connected graphs. We give an overview of the results known for finite graphs, and show…

We study mechanisms that select a subset of the vertex set of a directed graph in order to maximize the minimum indegree of any selected vertex, subject to an impartiality constraint that the selection of a particular vertex is independent…

A graph is prime (with respect to the split decomposition) if its vertex set does not admit a partition (A,B) (called a split) with |A|, |B| >= 2 such that the set of edges joining A and B induces a complete bipartite graph. We prove that…

In 1963, Corr\'adi and Hajnal settled a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s by proving that, for all $k \geq 1$, any graph $G$ with $|G| \geq 3k$ and minimum degree at least $2k$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles. In 2008, Finkel proved that for all…

Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs with arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case where such graphs are bipartite and in which the undirected and directed degrees are one. The best graphs,…

Given a tournament $T$, a module of $T$ is a subset $X$ of $V(T)$ such that for $x, y\in X$ and $v\in V(T)\setminus X$, $(x,v)\in A(T)$ if and only if $(y,v)\in A(T)$. The trivial modules of $T$ are $\emptyset$, $\{u\}$ $(u\in V(T))$ and…

It is well-known that in finite graphs, large complete minors/topological minors can be forced by assuming a large average degree. Our aim is to extend this fact to infinite graphs. For this, we generalise the notion of the relative end…
