The maximum number of edges in a graph with matching number m and maximum degree d has been determined in [1] and [2], where some extremal graphs have also been provided. Then, a new question has emerged: how the maximum edge count is…

We consider random temporal graphs, a version of the classical Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph G(n,p) where additionally, each edge has a distinct random time stamp, and connectivity is constrained to sequences of edges with increasing time…

The uniform Tur\'an density $\pi_{u}(F)$ of a $3$-uniform hypergraph (or $3$-graph) $F$ is the supremum of all $d$ such that there exist infinitely many $F$-free $3$-graphs $H$ in which every induced subhypergraph on a linearly sized vertex…

We investigate the maximum size of graph families on a common vertex set of cardinality $n$ such that the symmetric difference of the edge sets of any two members of the family satisfies some prescribed condition. We solve the problem…

For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$ let $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ be the maximum number of edges of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $H$ which contains no copy of $F$. Determining or estimating $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ is a classical and central problem…

For the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p), we give a precise asymptotic formula for the size of a largest vertex subset in G(n,p) that induces a subgraph with average degree at most t, provided that p = p(n) is not too small and t =…

We investigate bounds in Ramsey's theorem for relations definable in NIP structures. Applying model-theoretic methods to finitary combinatorics, we generalize a theorem of Bukh and Matousek [B. Bukh, J. Matou\v{s}ek.…

Let $F$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $H$ is a {\it Berge}-$F$ if there is a bijection $f : E(F) \rightarrow E(H )$ such that $e \subseteq f(e)$ for every $e \in E(F)$. Note that Berge-$F$ actually denotes a class of hypergraphs. The…

The study of upper density problems on Ramsey theory was initiated by Erd\H{o}s and Galvin in 1993. In this paper we are concerned with the following problem: given a fixed finite graph $F$, what is the largest value of $\lambda$ such that…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph $G$ is $\mathscr{F}$-free if $G$ does not contain any $F\in \mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. The general Tur\'an number, denoted by $ex(n, H,\mathscr{F})$, is the maximum number of copies of $H$…

A k-ary semi-algebraic relation E on R^d is a subset of R^{kd}, the set of k-tuples of points in R^d, which is determined by a finite number of polynomial equations and inequalities in kd real variables. The description complexity of such a…

Given a $k$-graph $H$ a complete blow-up of $H$ is a $k$-graph $\hat{H}$ formed by replacing each $v\in V(H)$ by a non-empty vertex class $A_v$ and then inserting all edges between any $k$ vertex classes corresponding to an edge of $H$.…

In 1964, Erd\H{o}s, Hajnal and Moon introduced a saturation version of Tur\'an's classical theorem in extremal graph theory. In particular, they determined the minimum number of edges in a $K_r$-free, $n$-vertex graph with the property that…

Generalized Tur\'an problem with given size, denoted as $\mathrm{mex}(m,K_r,F)$, determines the maximum number of $K_r$-copies in an $F$-free graph with $m$ edges. We prove that for $r\ge 3$ and $\alpha\in(\frac 2 r,1]$, any graph $G$ with…

We construct dense, triangle-free, chromatic-critical graphs of chromatic number $k$ for all $k\geq 4$. For $k\geq 6$ our constructions have $> (\frac{1}{4} -\varepsilon)n^2$ edges, which is asymptotically best possible by Tur\'an's…

The generalized Ramsey number $f(n, p, q)$ is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ so that every $p$-clique spans at least $q$ colors. Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'arf\'as showed that $f(n, p, q)$ grows…

Daisies are a special type of hypergraphs introduced by Bollob\'{a}s, Leader and Malvenuto. An $r$-daisy determined by a pair of disjoint sets $K$ and $M$ is the $(r+|K|)$-uniform hypergraph $\{K\cup P:\: P\in M^{(r)}\}$. In [Combin.…
