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

The stability number of a forbidden family measures how many different structures are needed to approximate all near-extremal constructions avoiding it. An infinite stability number means that no finite list of structures suffices. We…

A fundamental problem of extremal graph theory is to ask, 'What is the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices?' Recently Alon and Shikhelman proposed a more general, subgraph counting, version of this question. They…

A k-uniform linear cycle of length s is a cyclic list of k-sets A_1,..., A_s such that consecutive sets intersect in exactly one element and nonconsecutive sets are disjoint. For all k at least 5 and s at least 3 and sufficiently large n we…

The Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits stability theorem is one of the most widely used theorems in extremal graph theory. We obtain an Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits type stability theorem in multi-partite graphs. Different from the Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits stability…

Ryser's Conjecture states that for any $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph, the vertex cover number is at most $r{-}1$ times the matching number. This conjecture is only known to be true for $r\leq 3$ in general and for $r\leq 5$ if the…

The $3$-uniform tight $\ell$-cycle $C_\ell^{3}$ is the $3$-graph on $\{1,\dots,\ell\}$ consisting of all $\ell$ consecutive triples in the cyclic order. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be either the pair $\{C_{4}^{3}, C_{5}^{3}\}$ or the single tight…

In this paper we present a novel approach in extremal set theory which may be viewed as an asymmetric version of Katona's permutation method. We use it to find more Tur\'an numbers of hypergraphs in the Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado range. An…

The Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$ is the maximal number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. In $1983$ Chung and Erd\H{o}s asked which graphs $H$ with $e$ edges minimize $\text{ex}(n,H)$. They resolved this…

We study the structure of $r$-uniform hypergraphs containing no Berge cycles of length at least $k$ for $k \leq r$, and determine that such hypergraphs have some special substructure. In particular we determine the extremal number of such…

The Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph which does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. The Tur\'{a}n number of regular polyhedrons was widely studied in a series of works due to…

The $r$-expansion of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, denoted by $H^{(+r)}$, is an $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained by enlarging each $k$-edge of $H$ with a set of $r-k$ vertices of degree one. The random Tur\'an number…
