Given graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'an number $\ex(n, H, F)$ is defined as the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex graph that contains no copy of $F$. The suspension $\widehat{F}$ of a graph $F$ is obtained by adding…

The generalized Tur\'an problem $ext(n,T,F)$ is to determine the maximal number of copies of a graph $T$ that can exist in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. Recently, Gerbner and Palmer noted that the solution to the generalized Tur\'an…

A classical extremal, or Tur\'an-type problem asks to determine ${\rm ex}(G, H)$, the largest number of edges in a subgraph of a graph $G$ which does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Alon and Shikhelman introduced the so-called…

For graphs $T, H$, let $ex(n,T,H)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $n$-vertex $H$-free graph. In this paper we prove some sharp results on this generalization of Tur\'an numbers, where our focus is for the graphs $T,H$…

Given graphs $F$ and $H$, the generalized rainbow Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n,F,\text{rainbow-}H)$ is the maximum number of copies of $F$ in an $n$-vertex graph with a proper edge-coloring that contains no rainbow copy of $H$. B. Janzer…

We study the Tur\'{a}n numbers of $3$-graphs avoiding $3$-graphs $F$ and $M_{s+1}^3$, a matching of size $s+1$. We disprove a conjecture of Gerbner, Tompkins, and Zhou [European Journal of Combinatorics, 2025, 127:104155] on…

Given an $r_0$-uniform hypergraph $F$, we define its $r$-uniform expansion $F^{(r)}$ to be the hypergraph obtained from $F$ by inserting $r-r_0$ distinct vertices into each edge of $F$, and we define $\mathrm{ex}(G_{n,p}^r,F^{(r)})$ to be…

The bipartite Tur\'{a}n number of a graph $H$, denoted by $ex(m,n; H)$, is the maximum number of edges in any bipartite graph $G=(X,Y; E)$ with $|X|=m$ and $|Y|=n$ which does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we determined…

For graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, if we glue them by identifying a given pair of vertices $u \in V(H_1)$ and $v \in V(H_2)$, what is the extremal number of the resulting graph $H_1^u \odot H_2^v$? In this paper, we study this problem and show…

For a graph $F$, a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is a Berge copy of $F$ (or a Berge-$F$ in short), if there is a bijection $f : E(F) \rightarrow E(\mathcal{H})$ such that for each $e \in E(F)$ we have $e \subset f(e)$. A hypergraph is…
