In this paper we consider spectral extremal problems for hypergraphs. We give two general criteria under which such results may be deduced from `strong stability' forms of the corresponding (pure) extremal results. These results hold for…

Suppose a finite, unweighted, combinatorial graph $G = (V,E)$ is the union of several (degree-)regular graphs which are then additionally connected with a few additional edges. $G$ will then have only a small number of vertices $v \in V$…

A fundamental barrier in extremal hypergraph theory is the presence of many near-extremal constructions with very different structures. Indeed, the classical constructions due to Kostochka imply that the notorious extremal problem for the…

Hypergraph is the most general model for complex networks involving group interactions. Taking the ideas of path homology from Alexander Grigor'yan, Yong Lin, Yuri Muranov and Shing-Tung Yau [18-22], Stephane Bressan, Jingyan Li and the…

We investigate stability of a solution of a hybrid system in the sense that the graphs of solutions from nearby initial conditions remain close and tend towards the graph of the given solution. In this manner, a small continuous-time…

We systematically study a natural problem in extremal graph theory, to minimize the number of edges in a graph with a fixed number of vertices, subject to a certain local condition: each vertex must be in a copy of a fixed graph $H$. We…

Consider a host hypergraph $G$ which contains a spanning structure due to minimum degree considerations. We collect three results proving that if the edges of $G$ are sampled at the appropriate rate then the spanning structure still appears…

We present new short proofs to both the exact and the stability results of two extremal problems. The first one is the extension of Tur\'{a}n's theorem in hypergraphs, which was firstly studied by Mubayi $\cite{MU06}$. The second one is…

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become the standard for graph representation learning but remain vulnerable to structural perturbations. We propose a novel framework that integrates persistent homology features with stability…

We prove a robust version of a graph embedding theorem of Sauer and Spencer. To state this sparser analogue, we define $G(p)$ to be a random subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p \in…

Frei et al. [6] showed that the problem to decide whether a graph is stable with respect to some graph parameter under adding or removing either edges or vertices is $\Theta_2^{\text{P}}$-complete. They studied the common graph parameters…

In recent years several classical results in extremal graph theory have been improved in a uniform way and their proofs have been simplified and streamlined. These results include a new Erd\H{o}s-Stone-Bollob\'as theorem, several stability…

We study minimum degree conditions that guarantee that an $n$-vertex graph is rigid in $\mathbb{R}^d$. For small values of $d$, we obtain a tight bound: for $d = O(\sqrt{n})$, every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(n+d)/2 -…

Let ${\rm EX}(n,H)$ and ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)$ denote the families of $n$-vertex $H$-free graphs with the maximum size and the maximum spectral radius, respectively. A graph $H$ is said to be spectral-consistent if ${\rm SPEX}(n,H)\subseteq {\rm…

The Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem states that for $k \geq 3$, any $n$-vertex graph with no cycle of length at least $k$ has at most $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)(n-1)$ edges. A stronger version of the Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem was given by Kopylov: If $G$…

Given graphs H_1,...,H_k, we study the minimum order of a graph G such that for each i, the induced copies of H_i in G cover V(G). We prove a general upper bound of twice the sum of the numbers m_i, where m_i is one less than the order of…

For a graph $H$, the {\em extremal number} $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ not containing a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $\delta(H)>0$ and $\Delta(H)$ denote the minimum degree and maximum degree of $H$,…
