Bukh and Conlon used random polynomial graphs to give effective lower bounds on $\mathrm{ex}(n,\mathcal{T}^\ell)$, where $\mathcal{T}^\ell$ is the $\ell$th power of a balanced rooted tree $T$. We extend their result to give effective lower…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $q$ is a prime power. Define the \emph{generalized $q$-Kneser graph} $K_q(n,k,t)$ to be the graph whose vertices are the $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$…

As a variant of the much studied Tur\'an number, $ex(n,F)$, the largest number of edges that an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph may contain, we introduce the connected Tur\'an number $ex_c(n,F)$, the largest number of edges that an $n$-vertex…

Let $\mathrm{rex}(n, F)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that is regular and does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. We give lower bounds on $\mathrm{rex}(n, F)$, that are best possible up to a constant factor, when…

Recently, Domagoj Brada\v{c}, Oliver Janzer, Benny Sudakov and Istv\'an Tomon have proved that the Tur\'an number of $2$-dimensional grids is $\Theta(n^{3/2})$, or more general, $\mathrm{ex}\left(n,T\square{P}\right)=\Theta(n^{3/2})$, where…

The classical K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem states that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with no copy of $K_{s,t}$ as a subgraph, then the number of edges in $G$ is at most $O(n^{2-1/s})$. We prove that if one forbids $K_{s,t}$ as an…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$ with $\chi(H)<\chi(F)$, we say that $H$ is weakly $F$-Tur\'an-good if among $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs, a $(\chi(F)-1)$-partite graph contains the most copies of $H$. Let $H$ be a bipartite graph that contains a…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $r$-graphs. The Tur\'an number $ex_r(n;\mathcal{F})$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph of order $n$ that is $\mathcal{F}$-free. The famous Erd\H{o}s Matching Conjecture shows that…

The Tur\'an number of a graph $H$, denoted by $\text{ex}(n, H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not have $H$ as a subgraph. Let $TP_k$ be the triangular pyramid of $k$-layers. In this paper, we determine…

A $q$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a set of vectors of length $n$ with all entries from $\{0,1,\dots,q\}$ and every vector (that we call a $q$-edge) having exactly two non-zero entries. The support of a $q$-edge $\mathbf{x}$ is the pair…

The so-called generalized associativity functional equation G(J(x,y),z) = H(x,K(y,z)) has been investigated under various assumptions, for instance when the unknown functions G, H, J, and K are real, continuous, and strictly monotonic in…

Given a graph $T$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph on $n$ vertices is called the generalized Tur\'{a}n number, denoted by $ex(n, T , \mathcal{F})$. When $T= K_2$, it…

The Tur\'an function $ex(n,F)$ denotes the maximal number of edges in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We consider the function $h_F(n,q)$, the minimal number of copies of $F$ in a graph on $n$ vertices with $ex(n,F)+q$ edges. The value…
