In this note, we adapt the Keevash-Sudakov proof of the (Tur\'{a}n) Stability Theorem for the Fano plane to find an explicit dependency between the parameters $\varepsilon$ and $\delta$. This is useful in the solution of a multicolored…

In 1964 Erd\H{o}s proved that $(1+\oh{1})) \frac{\eul \ln(2)}{4} k^2 2^{k}$ edges are sufficient to build a $k$-graph which is not two colorable. To this day, it is not known whether there exist such $k$-graphs with smaller number of edges.…

We improve upper bounds on the chromatic number proven independently in \cite{reedNote} and \cite{ingo}. Our main lemma gives a sufficient condition for two paths in graph to be completely joined. Using this, we prove that if a graph has an…

Extremal problems on the $4$-cycle $C_4$ played a heuristic important role in the development of extremal graph theory. A fundamental theorem of F\"uredi states that the Tur\'an number $ex(q^2+q+1, C_4)\leq \frac12 q(q+1)^2$ holds for every…

For graphs $G, H_1,\dots,H_r$, write $G \to (H_1, \ldots, H_r)$ to denote the property that whenever we $r$-colour the edges of $G$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in colour $i$ for some $i \in \{1,\dots,r\}$. Mousset, Nenadov and…

An edge-coloring of the complete graph $K_n$ we call $F$-caring if it leaves no $F$-subgraph of $K_n$ monochromatic and at the same time every subset of $|V(F)|$ vertices contains in it at least one completely multicolored version of $F$.…

We consider (not necessarily proper) colorings of the vertices of a graph where every color is thoroughly distributed, that is, appears in every open neighborhood. Equivalently, every color is a total dominating set. We define $\td(G)$ as…

In [5] Graham and Rothschild consider a geometric Ramsey problem: finding the least n such that if all edges of the complete graph on the points {+1,-1}^n are 2-colored, there exist 4 coplanar points such that the 6 edges between them are…

The classical theorem of Vizing states that every graph of maximum degree $d$ admits an edge-coloring with at most $d+1$ colors. Furthermore, as it was earlier shown by K\H{o}nig, $d$ colors suffice if the graph is bipartite. We investigate…

Celebrated results often unfold like episodes in a long-running series. In the field of extremal set thoery, Erd\H{o}s, Ko, and Rado in 1961 established that any $k$-uniform intersecting family on $[n]$ has a maximum size of…

Confirming a conjecture posed by Caro, it was shown by Chen and Yu that every graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and at most $2n-4$ edges has a stable cutset, which is a stable set of vertices whose removal disconnects the graph. Le and Pfender…

Let $G$ be a connected $d$-regular graph of order $n$, where $d\geq3$. Let $\lambda_{2}(G)$ be the second largest eigenvalue of $G$. For even $n$, we show that $G$ contains $\left\lfloor\frac{2}{3}(d-\lambda_{2}(G))\right\rfloor$…

The least $k$ admitting a proper edge colouring $c:E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ without isolated edges such that $\sum_{e\ni u}c(e)\neq \sum_{e\ni v}c(e)$ for every $uv\in E$ is denoted by $\chi'_{\Sigma}(G)$. It has been…

A graphic sequence $\pi$ is potentially $H$-graphic if there is some realization of $\pi$ that contains $H$ as a subgraph. The Erd\H{o}s-Jacobson-Lehel problem asks to determine $\sigma(H,n)$, the minimum even integer such that any $n$-term…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, an $H$-coloring of $G$ is an adjacency preserving map from the vertices of $G$ to the vertices of $H$. $H$-colorings generalize such notions as independent sets and proper colorings in graphs. There has been much…

In 1964, Erd\H{o}s proposed the problem of estimating the Tur\'an number of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d$. Since $Q_d$ is a bipartite graph with maximum degree $d$, it follows from results of F\"uredi and Alon, Krivelevich, Sudakov…

Given a graph $G$, a colouring of $G$ is \emph{acyclic} if it is a proper colouring of $G$ and every cycle contains at least three colours. Its acyclic chromatic number $\chi_a(G)$ is the minimum~$k$ such that an acyclic $k$-colouring of…

A classical result of Corr\'adi and Hajnal states that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $n\in 3\mathbb{N}$ and $\delta(G) \ge 2n/3$ contains a perfect triangle-tiling, i.e.,\ a spanning set of vertex-disjoint triangles. We explore a…
