A graph is said to be $\mathcal{H}(n, \Delta)$-universal if it contains every graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$. Using a `matching-based' embedding technique introduced by Alon and F\"uredi, Dellamonica, Kohayakawa,…
Let $k \geq 3$. We prove the following three bounds for the matching number, $\alpha'(G)$, of a graph, $G$, of order $n$ size $m$ and maximum degree at most $k$. If $k$ is odd, then $\alpha'(G) \ge \left( \frac{k-1}{k(k^2 - 3)} \right) n \,…
We propose the following conjecture: For every fixed $\alpha\in [0,\frac 13)$, each graph of minimum degree at least $(1+\alpha)\frac k2$ and maximum degree at least $2(1-\alpha)k$ contains each tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. Our main…
The k-core of a graph is its maximal subgraph with minimum degree at least k. In this paper, we address robustness questions about k-cores. Given a k-core, remove one edge uniformly at random and find its new k-core. We are interested in…
Let $G$ be a complete edge-weighted graph on $n$ vertices. To each subset of vertices of $G$ assign the cost of the minimum spanning tree of the subset as its weight. Suppose that $n$ is a multiple of some fixed positive integer $k$. The…
Let $k_r(n,\delta)$ be the minimum number of $r$-cliques in graphs with $n$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta$. We evaluate $k_r(n,\delta)$ for $\delta \leq 4n/5$ and some other cases. Moreover, we give a construction, which we conjecture…
In 1989, Zehavi and Itai conjectured that every $k$-connected graph contains $k$ independent spanning trees rooted at any prescribed vertex $r$. That is, for each vertex $v$, the unique $r$-$v$ paths within these $k$ spanning trees are…
The famous Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture states that every graph of average degree more than $t-1$ must contain every tree on $t+1$ vertices. In this paper, we study a spectral version of this conjecture. For $n>k$, let $S_{n,k}$ be the join…
In this note, we prove that there exists a universal constant $c=\frac{43}{50}$ such that for every $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and every $d<k/2$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and with minimum $d$-degree at least…
A graph is called $K$-almost regular if its maximum degree is at most $K$ times the minimum degree. Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits showed that for a constant $0< \varepsilon< 1$ and a sufficiently large integer $n$, any $n$-vertex graph with more…
A graph is reconstructible if it is determined up to isomorphism from the collection of all its one-vertex-deleted subgraphs, known as the deck of G. The Reconstruction Conjecture (RC) posits that every finite simple graph with at least…
For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, let $\nu^{(m)}(H)$ denote the maximum size of a set $S$ of edges of $H$ whose pairwise intersection has size less than $m$. Let $\tau^{(m)}(H)$ denote the minimum size of a set $S$ of $m$-sets of $V(H)$…
One of the cornerstones of extremal graph theory is a result of F\"uredi, later reproved and given due prominence by Alon, Krivelevich and Sudakov, saying that if $H$ is a bipartite graph with maximum degree $r$ on one side, then there is a…
It was conjectured by Mkrtchyan, Petrosyan, and Vardanyan that every graph $G$ with $\Delta(G)-\delta(G) \le 1$ has a maximum matching $M$ such that any two $M$-unsaturated vertices do not share a neighbor. In this note, we confirm the…
It is proved that there exist graphs of bounded degree with arbitrarily large queue-number. In particular, for all $\Delta\geq3$ and for all sufficiently large $n$, there is a simple $\Delta$-regular $n$-vertex graph with queue-number at…
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…
In 1999, Katona and Kierstead conjectured that if a $k$-uniform hypergraph $\cal H$ on $n$ vertices has minimum co-degree $\lfloor \frac{n-k+3}{2}\rfloor$, i.e., each set of $k-1$ vertices is contained in at least $\lfloor…
In 1984, Thomassen conjectured that for every constant $k \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists $d$ such that every graph with average degree at least $d$ contains a balanced subdivision of a complete graph on $k$ vertices, i.e. a subdivision in…
The class of cographs is one of the most well-known graph classes, which is also known to be equivalent to the class of $P_4$-free graphs. We show that Mader's conjecture is true if we restrict ourselves to cographs, that is, for any tree…
In this paper we consider a natural extremal graph theoretic problem of topological sort, concerning the minimization of the (topological) connectedness of the independence complex of graphs in terms of its dimension. We observe that the…
