A graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $H$ is not a subgraph of $G$ but $H$ is a subgraph of $G + e$ for any edge $e$ in $\overline{G}$. The saturation number $sat(n,H)$ for a graph $H$ is the minimal number of edges in any $H$-saturated graph of…

We say that an edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is proper if every pair of incident edges receive distinct colors, and is rainbow if no two edges of $G$ receive the same color. Furthermore, given a fixed graph $F$, we say that $G$ is rainbow…

A graph $G$ is called $H$-saturated if it does not contain any copy of $H$, but for any edge $e$ in the complement of $G$ the graph $G+e$ contains some $H$. The minimum size of an $n$-vertex $H$-saturated graph is denoted by $\sat(n,H)$. We…

The saturation number $\text{sat}_r(n,\mathcal{F})$ is the minimum number of hyperedges in an $r$-uniform $\mathcal{F}$-saturated hypergraph on $n$ vertices. We determine this parameter for $3$-uniform Berge-$K_4$ hypergraphs, proving that…

A graph $G$ is called $C_k$-saturated if $G$ is $C_k$-free but $G+e$ not for any $e\in E(\overline{G})$. The saturation number of $C_k$, denoted $sat(n,C_k)$, is the minimum number of edges in a $C_k$-saturated graph on $n$ vertices.…

Given graphs $G$ and $H$, $G$ is $H$-saturated if $H$ is not a subgraph of $G$, but for all $e \notin E(G)$, $H$ appears as a subgraph of $G + e$. While for every $n \ge |V(H)|$, there exists an $n$-vertex graph that is $H$-saturated, the…

For a given graph $F$, the $F$-saturation number of a graph $G$, denoted by $ {sat}(G, F)$, is the minimum number of edges in an edge-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. In 2017, Kor\'andi and Sudakov determined $ {sat}({G}(n, p), K_r)$…

A drawing of a graph is $k$-plane if every edge contains at most $k$ crossings. A $k$-plane drawing is saturated if we cannot add any edge so that the drawing remains $k$-plane. It is well-known that saturated $0$-plane drawings, that is,…

Let $G$ be a graph and $\mathcal{H}$ be a family of graphs. We say $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a copy of $H$ with $H\in\mathcal{H}$, but the addition of any edge $e\notin E(G)$ creates at least one copy of some…

For two given graphs $G$ and $F$, a graph $ H$ is said to be weakly $ (G, F) $-saturated if $H$ is a spanning subgraph of $ G$ which has no copy of $F$ as a subgraph and one can add all edges in $ E(G)\setminus E(H)$ to $ H$ in some order…

We investigate saturated geometric drawings of graphs with geometric thickness $k$, where no edge can be added without increasing $k$. We establish lower and upper bounds on the number of edges in such drawings if the vertices lie in convex…

Graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $H$ is not a subgraph of $G$ and $H$ is a subgraph of $G+e$ for any edge $e$ not in $G$. The saturation number for a graph $H$ is the minimal number of edges in any $H$-saturated graph of order $n$. In this…

An $\mathcal{F}$-saturated $r$-graph is a maximal $r$-graph not containing any member of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{K}_{\ell + 1}^{r}$ be the collection of all $r$-graphs $F$ with at most $\binom{\ell+1}{2}$ edges such that…

The supersaturation problem for a given graph $F$ asks for the minimum number $h_F(n,q)$ of copies of $F$ in an $n$-vertex graph with $ex(n,F)+q$ edges. Subsequent works by Rademacher, Erd\H{o}s, and Lov\'{a}sz and Simonovits determine the…

Let $P_{n}$ be a path graph on $n$ vertices. We say that a graph $G$ is $P_{n}$-induced-saturated if $G$ contains no induced copy of $P_{n}$, but deleting any edge of $G$ as well as adding to $G$ any edge of $G^{c}$ creates such a copy.…

A simple topological graph is a topological graph in which any two edges have at most one common point, which is either their common endpoint or a proper crossing. More generally, in a k-simple topological graph, every pair of edges has at…

We consider three extremal problems about the number of copies of a fixed graph in another larger graph. First, we correct an error in a result of Reiher and Wagner and prove that the number of $k$-edge stars in a graph with density $x \in…

As a variant of the famous Tur\'an problem, we study $\mathrm{rex}(n,F)$, the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex regular graph can have without containing a copy of $F$. We determine $\mathrm{rex}(n,K_{r+1})$ for all pairs of…
