An extremal graph for a given graph $H$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum number of edges that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $s,t$ be integers and let $H_{s,t}$ be a graph consisting of $s$ triangles and $t$ cycles of odd…

Fix a graph $F$. We say that a graph is {\it $F$-free} if it does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. The {\it Tur\'an number} of $F$, denoted $\mathrm{ex}(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges possible in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. The study…

We consider finite simple graphs. Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $n,$ the Tur\'{a}n number of $H$ for the order $n,$ denoted ${\rm ex}(n,H),$ is the maximum size of a graph of order $n$ not containing $H$ as a subgraph. Erd\H{o}s…

The Tur\'an number of an r-uniform hypergraph H is the maximum number of edges in any r-graph on n vertices which does not contain H as a subgraph. Let P_l^(r) denote the family of r-uniform loose paths on l edges, F(k,l) denote the family…

The generalized Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n,H,\mathcal{F})$ denotes the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex graph which contains no copies of any graph in a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs. The generalized rational exponents…

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 following very natural problem was raised by Chung and Erd\H{o}s in the early 80's and has since been repeated a number of times. What is the minimum of the Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n,\mathcal{H})$ among all $r$-graphs $\mathcal{H}$…

We prove that for any linear 3-graph on $n$ vertices without a path of length 5, the number of edges is at most $\frac{15}{11}n$, and the equality holds if and only if the graph is the disjoint union of $G_0$, a graph with 11 vertices and…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of graphs. The Tur\'{a}n number $ex(n;\mathcal{F})$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ that is $\mathcal{F}$-free. In 1959, Erd\H{o}s and Gallai determined the Tur\'an number…

We resolve a conjecture of Cox and Martin by determining asymptotically for every $k\ge 2$ the maximum number of copies of $C_{2k}$ in an $n$-vertex planar graph.

Given a family of $r$-uniform hypergraphs ${\cal F}$ (or $r$-graphs for brevity), the Tur\'an number $ex(n,{\cal F})$ of ${\cal F}$ is the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain any member of ${\cal…

Given $p\geq 0$ and a graph $G$ whose degree sequence is $d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_n$, let $e_p(G)=\sum_{i=1}^n d_i^p$. Caro and Yuster introduced a Tur\'an-type problem for $e_p(G)$: given $p\geq 0$, how large can $e_p(G)$ be if $G$ has no…

In an undirected graph, the odd cycle packing number is the maximum number of pairwise vertex-disjoint odd cycles. The odd cycle transversal number is the minimum number of vertices that hit every odd cycle. The maximum ratio between…

Finding the maximum number of induced cycles of length $k$ in a graph on $n$ vertices has been one of the most intriguing open problems of Extremal Graph Theory. Recently Balogh, Hu, Lidick\'{y} and Pfender answered the question in the case…

We give a simple geometric interpretation of an algebraic construction of Wenger that yields $n$-vertex graphs with no cycle of length $4$, $6$ or $10$ and close to the maximum number of edges.

An $r$-uniform \textit{linear cycle} of length $\ell$, denoted by $C_{\ell}^r$, is an $r$-graph with edges $e_1, \ldots, e_{\ell}$ such that for every $i\in [\ell-1]$, $|e_i\cap e_{i+1}|=1$, $|e_{\ell}\cap e_1|=1$ and $e_i\cap…

A Halin graph is a graph constructed by embedding a tree with no vertex of degree two in the plane and then adding a cycle to join the tree's leaves. The Halin Tur\'an number of a graph $F$, denoted as $\ex_{\hh}(n,F)$, is the maximum…

How many copies of a fixed odd cycle, $C_{2m+1}$, can a planar graph contain? We answer this question asymptotically for $m\in\{2,3,4\}$ and prove a bound which is tight up to a factor of $3/2$ for all other values of $m$. This extends the…

We prove that every $n$ vertex linear triple system with $m$ edges has at least $m^6/n^7$ copies of a pentagon, provided $m>100 \, n^{3/2}$. This provides the first nontrivial bound for a question posed by Jiang and Yepremyan. More…

For large $n$ we determine exactly the maximum numbers of induced $C_4$ and $C_5$ subgraphs that a planar graph on $n$ vertices can contain. We show that $K_{2,n-2}$ uniquely achieves this maximum in the $C_4$ case, and we identify the…
