For a $k$-graph $\mathcal{F}\subset \binom{[n]}{k}$, the clique number of $\mathcal{F}$ is defined to be the maximum size of a subset $Q$ of $[n]$ with $\binom{Q}{k}\subset \mathcal{F}$. In the present paper, we determine the maximum number…

Recently Chase determined the maximum possible number of cliques of size $t$ in a graph on $n$ vertices with given maximum degree. Soon afterward, Chakraborti and Chen answered the version of this question in which we ask that the graph…

We study the maximum number of $r$-vertex cliques in $(r-1)$-uniform hypergraphs not containing complete $r$-partite hypergraphs $K_r^{(r-1)}(a_1, \dots, a_r)$. By using the hypergraph removal lemma, we show that this maximum is $o( n^{r -…

Let $ H = (V,E) $ be a hypergraph. By the chromatic number of a hypergraph $ H = (V,E) $ we mean the minimum number $\chi(H)$ of colors needed to paint all the vertices in $ V $ so that any edge $ e \in E $ contains at least two vertices of…

For an edge-colored graph, a subgraph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colors. We show that if $G$ is an edge-colored graph of order $n$ and size $m$ using $c$ colors on its edges, and $m+c\geq \binom{n+1}{2}+k-1$ for a…

The Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem states that for $k\geq 3$ every graph on $n$ vertices with more than $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)(n-1)$ edges contains a cycle of length at least $k$. Kopylov proved a strengthening of this result for 2-connected graphs…

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…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph. We use $e(G)$ and $c(G)$ to denote the number of edges and colors in $G$, respectively. A subgraph $H$ is called rainbow if $c(H)=e(H)$. Li et al. (European J. Combin., 36 (2014), 453-459) proved that every…

A hypergraph $H$ is properly colored if for every vertex $v\in V(H)$, all the edges incident to $v$ have distinct colors. In this paper, we show that if $H_{1}$, \cdots, $H_{s}$ are properly-colored $k$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ vertices,…

We prove that for every integer $r\geq 2$, an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ containing no $r$-regular subgraphs has at most $(1+o(1)){{n-1}\choose{k-1}}$ edges if $k\geq r+1$ and $n$ is sufficiently large. Moreover, if…

We prove that for any $k \ge 3$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices contains at most $n - \omega(1)$ different sizes of cliques (maximal complete subgraphs). In particular, the 3-uniform case answers a question of Erd\H{o}s.

Fox--Grinshpun--Pach showed that every $3$-coloring of the complete graph on $n$ vertices without a rainbow triangle contains a clique of size $\Omega\left(n^{1/3}\log^2 n\right)$ which uses at most two colors, and this bound is tight up to…

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…
