The stable roommates problem does not necessarily have a solution, i.e. a stable matching. We had found that, for the uniformly random instance, the expected number of solutions converges to $e^{1/2}$ as $n$, the number of members, grows,…

The document tries to put focus on sequences with certain properties and periods leading to the first value smaller than the starting value in the Collatz problem. With the idea that, if all starting numbers lead ultimately to a smaller…

We study the complexity of counting and finding small tournament patterns inside large tournaments. Given a fixed tournament $T$ of order $k$, we write ${\#}\text{IndSub}_{\text{To}}(\{T\})$ for the problem whose input is a tournament $G$…

The clique number of a tournament is the maximum clique number of a graph formed by keeping backwards arcs in an ordering of its vertices. We study the time complexity of computing the clique number of a tournament and prove that, for any…

We consider a problem of approximating the size of the largest clique in a graph, with a monotone circuit. Concretely, we focus on distinguishing a random Erd\H{o}s-Renyi graph $\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$, with $p=n^{-\frac{2}{\alpha-1}}$ chosen…

Both Cuckler and Yuster independently conjectured that when $n$ is an odd positive multiple of $3$ every regular tournament on $n$ vertices contains a collection of $n/3$ vertex-disjoint copies of the cyclic triangle. Soon after, Keevash…

Given a directed graph, we show how to efficiently find a shortest (directed, simple) cycle on an even number of vertices. As far as we know, no polynomial-time algorithm was previously known for this problem. In fact, finding any even…

Denote by $R(G_1, G_2, G_3)$ the minimum integer $N$ such that any three-colouring of the edges of the complete graph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of a graph $G_i$ coloured with colour $i$ for some $i\in{1,2,3}$. In a…

A conjecture of Alon, Pach and Solymosi, which is equivalent to the celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal Conjecture, states that for every tournament $S$ there exists $\epsilon(S)>0$ such that if $T$ is an $n$-vertex tournament that does not…

The decycling number $\phi(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of vertices which can be removed from $G$ so that the resulting graph has no cycles. Bau, Wormald and Zhou conjectured that with probability tending to one the decycling…

Woodall proved that for a graph $G$ of order $n\geq 2k+3$ where $k\geq 0$ is an integer, if $e(G)\geq \binom{n-k-1}{2}+\binom{k+2}{2}+1$ then $G$ contains a $C_{\ell}$ for each $\ell\in [3,n-k]$. In this article, we prove a stability result…

In the early 1980s, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os initiated the study of the classical Tur\'an problem with a uniformity condition: the uniform Tur\'an density of a hypergraph $H$ is the infimum over all $d$ for which any sufficiently large…

We prove that every $n$-vertex tournament $G$ has an acyclic subgraph with chromatic number at least $n^{5/9-o(1)}$, while there exists an $n$-vertex tournament $G$ whose every acyclic subgraph has chromatic number at most $n^{3/4+o(1)}$.…

For $1\le \ell<k/2$, we show that for sufficiently large $n$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices with minimum codegree at least $\frac n{2 (k-\ell)} $ contains a Hamilton $\ell$-cycle. This codegree condition is best possible and…

We give a new theorem describing a relation between the quasi-random property of regular tournaments and their spectra. This provides many solutions to a constructing problem mentioned by Erd\H{o}s and Moon (1965) and Spencer (1985).

We describe a general purpose algorithm for counting simple cycles and simple paths of any length $\ell$ on a (weighted di)graph on $N$ vertices and $M$ edges, achieving a time complexity of $O\left(N+M+\big(\ell^\omega+\ell\Delta\big)…

In this paper we adapt techniques used by Ahlswede and Khachatrian in their proof of the Complete Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado Theorem to show that if $n \geq 2t+1$, then any pairwise $t$-cycle-intersecting family of permutations has cardinality less…

Bondy and Vince showed that every graph with minimum degree at least three contains two cycles of lengths differing by one or two.We prove the following average degree counterpart that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $\frac52(n-1)$…

For a graph $L$ and an integer $k\geq 2$, $R_k(L)$ denotes the smallest integer $N$ for which for any edge-colouring of the complete graph $K_N$ by $k$ colours there exists a colour $i$ for which the corresponding colour class contains $L$…

In a recent work, Allen, B\"{o}ttcher, H\`{a}n, Kohayakawa, and Person provided a first general analogue of the blow-up lemma applicable to sparse (pseudo)random graphs thus generalising the classic tool of Koml\'{o}s, S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy, and…
