Our main result is a new upper bound for the size of k-uniform, L-intersecting families of sets, where L contains only positive integers. We characterize extremal families in this setting. Our proof is based on the Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson…

Given a family of graphs $G_1,\dots,G_{n}$ on the same vertex set $[n]$, a rainbow Hamilton cycle is a Hamilton cycle on $[n]$ such that each $G_c$ contributes exactly one edge. We prove that if $G_1,\dots,G_{n}$ are independent samples of…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set, define $\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{F})=\{F\setminus F': F, F'\in\mathcal{F}\}$. A family $\mathcal{F}$ is called intersecting if $F\cap F'\not=\emptyset$ for all $F, F'\in\mathcal{F}$. Frankl…

A collection of sets is {\em intersecting} if every two members have nonempty intersection. We describe the structure of intersecting families of $r$-sets of an $n$-set whose size is quite a bit smaller than the maximum ${n-1 \choose r-1}$…

The Frankl conjecture, also known as the union-closed sets conjecture, states that in any finite non-empty union-closed family, there exists an element in at least half of the sets. From an optimization point of view, one could instead…

Ryser's Conjecture states that any $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph has a vertex cover of size at most $r - 1$ times the size of the largest matching. For $r = 2$, the conjecture is simply K\"onig's Theorem and every bipartite graph is a…

We say that a family $\mathcal F$ of $k$-element sets is a {\it $j$-junta} if there is a set $J$ of size $j$ such that, for any $F$, its presence in $\mathcal F$ depends on its intersection with $J$ only. Approximating arbitrary families by…

Colour the edges of the complete graph with vertex set $\{1, 2, \dotsc, n\}$ with an arbitrary number of colours. What is the smallest integer $f(l,k)$ such that if $n > f(l,k)$ then there must exist a monotone monochromatic path of length…

Let $n \in 3\mathbb{Z}$ be sufficiently large. Zhang, Zhao and Lu proved that if $H$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and no isolated vertices, and if $deg(u)+deg(v) > \frac{2}{3}n^2 - \frac{8}{3}n + 2$ for any two vertices $u$…

We find the formula for the maximal cardinality of the family of $n$-tuples from ${[n]\choose k}$ with does not have $\ell$--matching. This formula after some analytical issues can be reduce to the Erd\"os's Matching formula. Also we prove…

Given a collection of hypergraphs $\textbf{H}=(H_1,\ldots,H_m)$ with the same vertex set, an $m$-edge graph $F\subset \cup_{i\in [m]}H_i$ is a transversal if there is a bijection $\phi:E(F)\to [m]$ such that $e\in E(H_{\phi(e)})$ for each…

The Kneser hypergraph ${\rm KG}^r_{n,k}$ is an $r$-uniform hypergraph with vertex set consisting of all $k$-subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and any collection of $r$ vertices forms an edge if their corresponding $k$-sets are pairwise disjoint.…

Families $\mathcal{A}_1, \mathcal{A}_2, ..., \mathcal{A}_k$ of sets are said to be \emph{cross-intersecting} if for any $i$ and $j$ in $\{1, 2, ..., k\}$ with $i \neq j$, any set in $\mathcal{A}_i$ intersects any set in $\mathcal{A}_j$. For…

In 1963, Dirac proved that every $n$-vertex graph has $k$ vertex-disjoint triangles if $n\geq 3k$ and minimum degree $\delta(G)\geq \frac{n+k}{2}$. The base case $n=3k$ can be reduced to the Corr\'adi-Hajn\'al Theorem. Towards a rainbow…

The dichromatic number of a digraph $D$, denoted by $\vec{\chi}(D)$, is the smallest number of colours required to colour the vertices of $D$ such that each colour class induces an acyclic digraph. A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Neumann-Lara…

For any small constant $\epsilon>0$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,\frac{1+\epsilon}{n})$ with high probability has a unique largest component which contains $(1\pm O(\epsilon))2\epsilon n$ vertices. Let $G_c(n,p)$ be obtained by…

For a given graph $H$ and $n\geq 1$, let $f(n,H)$ denote the maximum number $c$ for which there is a way to color the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ with $c$ colors such that every subgraph $H$ of $K_n$ has at least two edges of the same…

A variant of the Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture, posed by Havet, Reed, Stein and Wood, states that every graph with minimum degree at least $\lfloor 2k/3 \rfloor$ and maximum degree at least $k$ contains a copy of every tree with $k$ edges.…

Koml\'os conjectured in 1981 that among all graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, the complete graph $K_{d+1}$ minimises the number of Hamiltonian subsets, where a subset of vertices is Hamiltonian if it contains a spanning cycle. We…

For integers $n\ge s\ge 2$ let $e(n,s)$ denote the maximum of $|\mathcal F|,$ where $\mathcal F$ is a family of subsets of an $n$-element set and $\mathcal F$ contains no $s$ pairwise disjoint members. Half a century ago, solving a…
