Motivated by a Gan-Loh-Sudakov-type problem, we introduce the regular Tur\'an numbers, a natural variation on the classical Tur\'an numbers for which the host graph is required to be regular. Among other results, we prove a striking…

We consider shells of non-constant thickness in three dimensional Euclidean space around surfaces which have bounded principal curvatures. We derive Korn's interpolation (or the so called first and a half (The inequality first introduced in…

The classical Erd\H{o}s-Littlewood-Offord problem concerns the random variable $X = a_1 \xi_1 + \dots + a_n \xi_n$, where $a_i \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}$ are fixed and $\xi_i \sim \text{Ber}(1/2)$ are independent. The…

For an integer $r \ge 3$ and a subset $L \subset [0,r-1]$, a graph $G$ is $(K_{r}, L)$-intersecting if the number of vertices in the intersection of every pair of $K_r$ in $G$ belongs to $L$. We study the maximum number of $K_r$ in an…

We consider a nearly integrable, non-isochronous, a-priori unstable Hamiltonian system with a (trigonometric polynomial) $O(\mu)$-perturbation which does not preserve the unperturbed tori. We prove the existence of Arnold diffusion with…

We study the $P_1$ finite element approximation of the best constant in the classical Hardy inequality over bounded domains containing the origin in $\mathbb{R}^N$, for $N \geq 3$. Despite the fact that this constant is not attained in the…

H\"{o}lder's inequality, since its appearance in 1888, has played a fundamental role in Mathematical Analysis and it is, without any doubt, one of the milestones in Mathematics. It may seem strange that, nowadays, it keeps resurfacing and…

For positive integers $n\ge s> r$, the Tur\'an function $T(n,s,r)$ is the smallest size of an r-graph with n vertices such that every set of s vertices contains at least one edge. Also, define the Tur\'an density $t(s,r)$ as the limit of…

Combining two well-studied variants of the classical Tur\'{a}n problem, the generalized Tur\'{a}n problem and the spectral Tur\'{a}n problem, we introduce the spectral generalized Tur\'{a}n problem and establish a general theorem that…

In a ground-breaking paper solving a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s on the number of $n$-vertex graphs not containing a given even cycle, Morris and Saxton \cite{MS} made a broad conjecture on so-called balanced supersaturation property of a…

We obtain a concentration inequality for the maximum degree of a vertex in a uniformly random dissection of a polygon. This resolves a conjecture posed by Curien and Kortchemski in 2012. Our approach is based on a bijection with dual trees…

The Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture, proposed in 1948 by Paul Erd\H{o}s and Ernst G. Straus, asks whether the Diophantine equation \[ \frac{4}{a} = \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{c} + \frac{1}{d} \] admits positive integer solutions $b, c, d \in…

Let eta_i be iid Bernoulli random variables, taking values -1,1 with probability 1/2. Given a multiset V of n integers v_1,..., v_n, we define the concentration probability as rho(V) := sup_{x} Pr(v_1 eta_1+...+ v_n eta_n=x). A classical…

We use an algebraic method to prove a degree version of the celebrated Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem: given $n>2k$, every intersecting $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices contains a vertex that lies on at most $\binom{n-2}{k-2}$ edges.…

In a recent work, the authors established a refinement of the well-known 1958 result of Vietoris on nonnegative cosine polynomials. In four places of the proof, use was made of the classical Sturm Theorem on determining the number of real…

The classical stability theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits states that, for any fixed graph with chromatic number $k+1 \ge 3$, the following holds: every $n$-vertex graph that is $H$-free and has within $o(n^2)$ of the maximal possible…

Keevash, Lenz and Mubayi developed a general criterion for hypergraph spectral extremal problems in their seminal work (SIAM J. Discrete Math., 2014). Their framework shows that extremal results on the $\alpha$-spectral radius (for $\alpha…

Let $F$ be a strictly balanced $r$-uniform hypergraph with $e>2$ edges and $r$-density $m$. We give a new short proof of the fact that the Tur\'an number $\ex(n, F)$ is greater than $c\, n^{r-1/m} (\log n)^{1/(e-1)}$ where $c$ depends only…

A perfect matching in the complete graph on $2k$ vertices is a set of edges such that no two edges have a vertex in common and every vertex is covered exactly once. Two perfect matchings are said to be $t$-intersecting if they have at least…

The following sharpening of Tur\'an's theorem is proved. Let $T_{n,p}$ denote the complete $p$--partite graph of order $n$ having the maximum number of edges. If $G$ is an $n$-vertex $K_{p+1}$-free graph with $e(T_{n,p})-t$ edges then there…
