In this paper, we address problems related to parameters concerning edge mappings of graphs. Inspired by Ramsey's Theorem, the quantity $m(G, H)$ is defined to be the minimum number $n$ such that for every $f: E(K_n) \rightarrow E(K_n)$…

Fix a positive integer $n$, a real number $p\in (0,1]$, and a (perhaps random) hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $[n]$. We introduce and investigate the following random multigraph model, which we denote $\mathbb{G}(n,p\, ; \,\mathcal{H})$: begin…

An edge-operation on a graph $G$ is defined to be either the deletion of an existing edge or the addition of a nonexisting edge. Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the editing distance from $G$ to $\mathcal{G}$ is the smallest number…

Harary's conjecture $r(C_3,G)\leq 2q+1$ for every isolated-free graph G with $q$ edges was proved independently by Sidorenko and Goddard and Klietman. In this paper instead of $C_3$ we consider $K_{2,k}$ and seek a sharp upper bound for…

We study a generalisation of the bipartite Ramsey numbers to blowups of graphs. For a graph $G$, denote the $t$-blowup of $G$ by $G[t]$. We say that $G$ is $r$-Ramsey for $H$, and write $G \stackrel{r}{\rightarrow} H$, if every…

We provide an upper bound to the number of graph homomorphisms from $G$ to $H$, where $H$ is a fixed graph with certain properties, and $G$ varies over all $N$-vertex, $d$-regular graphs. This result generalizes a recently resolved…

For a graph $H$, the $H$-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exist at most $k$ edges whose deletion from the input graph $G$ results in a graph without any induced copy of $H$. We prove that $H$-free Edge Deletion is NP-complete…

According to a study by Erd\H{o}s et al. in 1975, the anti-Ramsey number of a graph \(G\), denoted as \(AR(n, G)\), is defined as the maximum number of colors that can be used in an edge-coloring of the complete graph \(K_n\) without…

We provide two novel constructions of $r$ edge-disjoint $K_{k+1}$-free graphs on the same vertex set, each of which has the property that every small induced subgraph contains a complete graph on $k$ vertices. The main novelty of our…

The classical result in the theory of random graphs, proved by Erdos and Renyi in 1960, concerns the threshold for the appearance of the giant component in the random graph process. We consider a variant of this problem, with a Ramsey…

In this paper, we study the task of detecting the edge dependency between two weighted random graphs. We formulate this task as a simple hypothesis testing problem, where under the null hypothesis, the two observed graphs are statistically…

The Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as number $f(n, p, q)$ is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ so that all of its $p$-clique spans at least $q$ colors. In this paper we improve the best known upper…

We say that a graph $G$ is Ramsey for $H_1$ versus $H_2$, and write $G \to (H_1,H_2)$, if every red-blue colouring of the edges of $G$ contains either a red copy of $H_1$ or a blue copy of $H_2$. In this paper we study the threshold for the…

One of the central questions in Ramsey theory asks how small can be the size of the largest clique and independent set in a graph on $N$ vertices. By the celebrated result of Erd\H{o}s from 1947, the random graph on $N$ vertices with edge…

Given two graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, an online Ramsey game is played on the edge set of $K_\mathbb{N}$. In every round Builder selects an edge and Painter colors it red or blue. Builder is trying to force Painter to create a red copy of $H_1$…

The online Ramsey turnaround game is a game between two players, Builder and Painter, on a board of $n$ vertices using $3$ colors, for a fixed graph $H$ on at most $n$ vertices. The goal of Painter is to force a monochromatic copy of $H$,…

We introduce a new type of positional games, played on a vertex set of a graph. Given a graph $G$, two players claim vertices of $G$, where the outcome of the game is determined by the subgraphs of $G$ induced by the vertices claimed by…

This paper investigates the number of random edges required to add to an arbitrary dense graph in order to make the resulting graph hamiltonian with high probability. Adding $\Theta(n)$ random edges is both necessary and sufficient to…

For a fixed graph $H$, the $H$-free-editing problem asks whether we can modify a given graph $G$ by adding or deleting at most $k$ edges such that the resulting graph does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph. The problem is known to be…

A coloring of a complete bipartite graph is shuffle-preserved if it is the case that assigning a color $c$ to edges $(u, v)$ and $(u', v')$ enforces the same color assignment for edges $(u, v')$ and $(u',v)$. (In words, the induced subgraph…
