The systematic study of Tur\'an-type extremal problems for edge-ordered graphs was initiated by Gerbner et al. arXiv:2001.00849. They conjectured that the extremal functions of edge-ordered forests of order chromatic number 2 are…

For a simple graph $F$, let $\mathrm{EX}(n, F)$ and $\mathrm{EX_{sp}}(n,F)$ be the set of graphs with the maximum number of edges and the set of graphs with the maximum spectral radius in an $n$-vertex graph without any copy of the graph…

Given a graph $H$, the extremal number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We make progress on a number of conjectures about the extremal number of bipartite graphs. First, writing…

Combining two classical notions in extremal combinatorics, the study of Ramsey-Tur\'an theory seeks to determine, for integers $m\le n$ and $p \leq q$, the number $\mathsf{RT}_p(n,K_q,m)$, which is the maximum size of an $n$-vertex…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph is a tight $r$-tree if its edges can be ordered so that every edge $e$ contains a vertex $v$ that does not belong to any preceding edge and the set $e-v$ lies in some preceding edge. A conjecture of Kalai [Kalai],…

This paper focuses on extensions of the classic Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem for the set of weighted function of each edge in a graph. The weighted function of an edge $e$ of an $n$-vertex uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is defined to a…

Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz noticed that an $r$-uniform intersecting hypergraph $H$ with maximal covering number, that is $\tau(H)=r$, must have at least $\frac{8}{3}r-3$ edges. There has been no improvement on this lower bound for 45 years. We…

The Tur\'an number of a graph $H$, denoted by $ex(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in any graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $P_{k}$ denote the path on $k$ vertices and let $mP_{k}$ denote $m$ disjoint…

An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph $G$ whose vertex set $V(G)$ is linearly ordered. We find the Tur\'an numbers for the $r$-uniform $s$-vertex tight path $P^{(r)}_s$ (with vertices in the natural order) exactly when $r\le s < 2r$ and $n$…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s asserts that for $k\ge 3$, the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph without $s+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $\max\{\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-s}{k},\binom{sk+k-1}{k}\}$. This problem…

In a recent work on the bipartite Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graph, Do et al. (2023) established upper bounds on the number of connected labeled bipartite graphs with a fixed surplus. We use some recent encodings of bipartite random graphs in…

Given a graph $F$, the $r$-expansion $F^{(r)+}$ of $F$ is the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $F$ by inserting $r-2$ new distinct vertices in each edge of $F$. Recently, Alon and Frankl (JCTB, 2024) and Gerbner (JGT, 2023) studied the…

We show that for an infinitely many natural numbers $k$ there are $k$-uniform hypergraphs which admit a `rescaling phenomenon' as described in [9]. More precisely, let $\mathcal{A}(k,I, n)$ denote the class of $k$-graphs on $n$ vertices in…

Recall that an excedance of a permutation $\pi$ is any position $i$ such that $\pi_i > i$. Inspired by the work of Hopkins, McConville and Propp (Elec. J. Comb., 2017) on sorting using toppling, we say that a permutation is toppleable if it…
