Building on recent work of Mattheus and Verstra\"ete, we establish a general connection between Ramsey numbers of the form $r(F,t)$ for $F$ a fixed graph and a variant of the Zarankiewicz problem asking for the maximum number of 1s in an…

An independent transversal in a multipartite graph is an independent set that intersects each part in exactly one vertex. We show that for every even integer $r\ge 2$, there exist $c_r>0$ and $n_0$ such that every $r$-partite graph with…

This paper considers the \textit{Zarankiewicz problem} in graphs with low-dimensional geometric representation (i.e., low Ferrers dimension). Our first result reveals a separation between bipartite graphs of Ferrers dimension three and…

The hypergraph Zarankiewicz's problem, introduced by Erd\H{o}s in 1964, asks for the maximum number of hyperedges in an $r$-partite hypergraph with $n$ vertices in each part that does not contain a copy of $K_{t,t,\ldots,t}$. Erd\H{o}s…

Denote the maximum sos rank of $m \times n$ sum of squares (SOS) biquadratic forms by $BSR(m, n)$. In this paper, we show that $BSR(m, n) \ge z(m, n)$ and conjecture that $BSR(m, n) = z(m, n)$, where $z(m, n)$ is the Zarankiewicz number.…

Given two non-negative integers $n$ and $s$, define $m(n,s)$ to be the maximal number such that in every hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $n$ vertices and with at most $ m(n,s)$ edges there is a vertex $x$ such that $|\mathcal{H}_x|\geq |…

The Zarankiewicz number $z(b;s)$ is the maximum size of a subgraph of $K_{b,b}$ which does not contain $K_{s,s}$ as a subgraph. The two-color bipartite Ramsey number $b(s,t)$ is the smallest integer $b$ such that any coloring of the edges…

It has been long--conjectured that the crossing number cr(K_m,n) of the complete bipartite graph K_m,n equals the Zarankiewicz Number Z(m,n):= floor((m-1)/2) floor(m/2) floor((n-1)/2) floor(n/2). Another long--standing conjecture states…

We determine the colored patterns that appear in any $2$-edge coloring of $K_{n,n}$, with $n$ large enough and with sufficient edges in each color. We prove the existence of a positive integer $z_2$ such that any $2$-edge coloring of…

Let $\mc{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph is {\em $\mc{F}$-free} if it contains no copy of a graph in $\mc{F}$ as a subgraph. A cornerstone of extremal graph theory is the study of the {\em Tur\'an number} $ex(n,\mc{F})$, the maximum…
