Given a fixed $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$, the $F$-removal lemma states that every hypergraph with few copies of $F$ can be made $F$-free by the removal of few edges. Unfortunately, for general $F$, the constants involved are given by…

Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph contains a subset of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2/50$ edges. Extending a recent result of Norin and Yepremyan, we confirm this conjecture for graphs…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ denotes the largest number of copies of $H$ in $F$-free $n$-vertex graphs. Let $\chi(H)<\chi(F)=r+1$. We say that $H$ is $F$-Tur\'an-stable if the following holds. For any $\varepsilon>0$ there…

A graph $H$ is said to be positive if the homomorphism density $t_H(G)$ is non-negative for all weighted graphs $G$. The positive graph conjecture proposes a characterisation of such graphs, saying that a graph is positive if and only if it…

A graph of order $n$ is said to be \emph{$k$-factor-critical} ($0\leq k <n$) if the removal of any $k$ vertices results in a graph with a perfect matching. A $k$-factor-critical graph $G$ is \emph{minimal} if $G-e$ is not…

Given a set $A$ of $n$ points (vertices) in general position in the plane, the \emph{complete geometric graph} $K_n[A]$ consists of all $\binom{n}{2}$ segments (edges) between the elements of $A$. It is known that the edge set of every…

Given a sequence $\mathbf{k} := (k_1,\ldots,k_s)$ of natural numbers and a graph $G$, let $F(G;\mathbf{k})$ denote the number of colourings of the edges of $G$ with colours $1,\dots,s$ such that, for every $c \in \{1,\dots,s\}$, the edges…

The notion of resistance distance, introduced by Klein and Randi\'c, has become a fundamental concept in spectral graph theory and network analysis, as it captures both the structural and electrical properties of a graph. The associated…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\mathcal{F}$ a family of graphs. Define $\alpha_{\mathcal{F}}(G)$ as the maximum order of any induced subgraph of $G$ that belongs to the family $\mathcal{F}$. For the family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs with…

For a family ${\mathcal F}$ of $r$-graphs, let $\mathrm{ex}(n,{\mathcal F})$ denote the maximum number of edges in an ${\mathcal F}$-free $r$-graph on $n$ vertices. Let ${\mathcal F}_r(v,e)$ denote the family of all $r$-graphs with $e$…

We say that a $d$-regular graph is a $\gamma$-expander if for every not too large set of vertices $S$, there are at least $\gamma d |S|$ edges leaving $S$, and we say that a graph $G$ is $\gamma$-far from bipartite if at least $\gamma e(G)$…

Erd\H{o}s asked whether for any $n$-vertex graph $G$, the parameter $p^*(G)=\min \sum_{i\ge 1} (|V(G_i)|-1)$ is at most $\lfloor n^2/4\rfloor$, where the minimum is taken over all edge decompositions of $G$ into edge-disjoint cliques $G_i$.…

Bollob\'as and Nikiforov [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. B. 97 (2007) 859--865] conjectured the following. If $G$ is a $K_{r+1}$-free graph on at least $r+1$ vertices and $m$ edges, then $\lambda^2_1(G)+\lambda^2_2(G)\leq \frac{r-1}{r}\cdot2m$,…

Let $H$ be a graph. We show that if $r$ is large enough as a function of $H$, then the $r$-partite Tur\'an graph maximizes the number of copies of $H$ among all $K_{r+1}$-free graphs on a given number of vertices. This confirms a conjecture…
