How many graphs on an $n$-point set can we find such that any two have connected intersection? Berger, Berkowitz, Devlin, Doppelt, Durham, Murthy and Vemuri showed that the maximum is exactly $1/2^{n-1}$ of all graphs. Our aim in this short…

For integers m,k >= 1, we investigate the maximum size of a directed cut in directed graphs in which there are m edges and each vertex has either indegree at most k or outdegree at most k.

Let $P_{2,2}$ be the orientation of $C_4$ which consists of two 2-paths with the same initial and terminal vertices. In this paper, we determine the maximum size of $P_{2,2}$-free digraphs of order $n$ as well as the extremal digraphs…

The degree-diameter problem seeks to find the maximum possible order of a graph with a given (maximum) degree and diameter. It is known that graphs attaining the maximum possible value (the Moore bound) are extremely rare, but much activity…

Let $m$ be a positive integer. Brualdi and Hoffman proposed the problem to determine the (connected) graphs with maximum spectral radius in a given graph class and they posed a conjecture for the class of graphs with given size $m$. After…

Determine the size of $r$-graphs with given graph parameters is an interesting problem. Chv\'atal and Hanson (JCTB, 1976) gave a tight upper bound of the size of 2-graphs with restricted maximum degree and matching number; Khare (DM, 2014)…

Motivated by the study of a variant of sunflowers, Alon and Holzman recently introduced focal-free hypergraphs. In this paper, we show that there is an interesting connection between the maximum size of focal-free hypergraphs and the…

Determining the maximum number of edges under degree and matching number constraints have been solved for general graphs by Chv\'{a}tal and Hanson (1976), and by Balachandran and Khare (2009). It follows from the structure of those extremal…

We determine the possible maximum degrees of a minimally hamiltonian-connected graph with a given order. This answers a question posed by Modalleliyan and Omoomi in 2016. We also pose two unsolved problems.

In 1965 Erd\H{o}s conjectured that the number of edges in k-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices in which the largest matching has s edges is maximized for hypergraphs of one of two special types. We settled this conjecture in the affirmative…

The problem of finding the largest connected subgraph of a given undirected host graph, subject to constraints on the maximum degree $\Delta$ and the diameter $D$, was introduced in \cite{maxddbs}, as a generalization of the Degree-Diameter…

P. Erd\H{o}s, J. Pach, R. Pollack, and Z. Tuza [J. Combin. Theory, B 47 (1989), 279--285] made conjectures for the maximum diameter of connected graphs without a complete subgraph $K_{k+1}$, which have order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$.…

Recently, Ma, Qian and Shi determined the maximum size of an $n$-vertex graph with given fractional matching number $s$ and maximum degree at most $d$. Motivated by this result, we determine the maximum number of $\ell$-cliques in a graph…

We propose a new arrangement problem on directed graphs, Maximum Directed Linear Arrangement (MaxDLA). This is a directed variant of a similar problem for undirected graphs, in which however one seeks maximum and not minimum; this problem…
