Given a graph $H$, a graph $G$ is $H$-free if $G$ does not contain $H$ as an induced subgraph. For a positive real number $t$, a non-complete graph $G$ is said to be $t$-tough if for every vertex cut $S$ of $G$, the ratio of $|S|$ to the…

Given an $(r+1)$-chromatic graph $F$ and a graph $H$ that does not contain $F$ as a subgraph, we say that $H$ is strictly $F$-Tur\'an-good if the Tur\'an graph $T_{r}(n)$ is the unique graph containing the maximum number of copies of $H$…

A $k$-graph (or $k$-uniform hypergraph) $H$ is uniformly dense if the edge distribution of $H$ is uniformly dense with respect to every large collection of $k$-vertex cliques induced by sets of $(k-2)$-tuples. Reiher, R\"odl and Schacht…

As introduced by Bollob\'as, a graph $G$ is weakly $H$-saturated if the complete graph $K_n$ is obtained by iteratively completing copies of $H$ minus an edge. For all graphs $H$, we obtain an asymptotic lower bound for the critical…

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 $T,H$…

An oriented graph $H$ is Tur\'anable (resp. tileable) if there exist $n_0 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every semi-regular near-tournament on $n \ge n_0$ vertices contains a copy of $H$ (resp. a perfect $H$-tiling). We disprove a conjectured…

Given graphs $T$ and $H$, the generalized Tur\'an number ex$(n,T,H)$ is the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $n$-vertex graph with no copies of $H$. Alon and Shikhelman, using a result of Erd\H os, determined the asymptotics of…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hypergraph and $F$ be a graph. If there exists a bijection between the hyperedges of $\mathcal{H}$ and the edges of $F$ such that each hyperedge contains its image, then we say that $\mathcal{H}$ is a \textit{Berge…

Fix graphs $F$ and $H$. Let $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ denote the maximum number of copies of a graph $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. In this note we will give a new general supersaturation result for $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ in the case when…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph and $F$ be a graph. We say $\mathcal{H}$ contains $F$ as a trace if there exists some set $S\subseteq V(\mathcal{H})$ such that $\mathcal{H}|_{S}:=\{E\cap S: E\in E(\mathcal{H})\}$ contains a…

A graph $G$ is $H$-free, if it contains no $H$ as a subgraph. A graph is said to be \emph{$H$-minor free}, if it does not contain $H$ as a minor. In recent years, Nikiforov asked that what is the maximum spectral radius of an $H$-free graph…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ among all $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs. The friendship graph $F_k$ consists of $k$ triangles sharing a common vertex. In this…

The generalized Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ in $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs. We consider the case where $\chi(H)<\chi(F)$. There are several exact results on $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ when the…

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…

Reiher, R\"odl, Sales, and Schacht initiated the study of relative Tur\'an densities of ordered graphs and showed that it is more subtle and interesting than the unordered case. For an ordered graph $F$, its relative Tur\'an density,…

Let $G$ and $H$ be disjoint embeddings of complete graphs $K_m$ and $K_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ such that some cycle in $G$ links a cycle in $H$ with non-zero linking number. We say that $G$ and $H$ are *weakly linked* if the absolute value of…

A seminal result of Hajnal and Szemer\'{e}di states that if a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices has minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge (r-1)n/r$ for some integer $r \ge 2$, then $G$ contains a $K_r$-factor, assuming $r$ divides $n$. Extremal examples…

For an ordered graph $F$, denote the Tur\'an density by $\vec{\pi}(F)$. The relative Tur\'an density, denoted by $\rho(F)$, is the supremum over $\alpha \in [0,1]$ such that every ordered graph $G$ contains an $F$-free subgraph $G'$ with…
