The cube Q is the usual 8-vertex graph with 12 edges. Here we give a new proof for a theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits concerning the Tur\'an number of the cube. Namely, it is shown that e(G) < n^{8/5}+(2n)^{3/2} holds for any n-vertex…

Fix a $k$-chromatic graph $F$. In this paper we consider the question to determine for which graphs $H$ does the Tur\'an graph $T_{k-1}(n)$ have the maximum number of copies of $H$ among all $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs (for $n$ large…

The uniform Tur\'an density $\pi_{u}(F)$ of a $3$-uniform hypergraph (or $3$-graph) $F$ is the supremum of all $d$ such that there exist infinitely many $F$-free $3$-graphs $H$ in which every induced subhypergraph on a linearly sized vertex…

An $r$-uniform graph $G$ is dense if and only if every proper subgraph $G'$ of $G$ satisfies $\lambda (G') < \lambda (G)$, where $\lambda (G)$ is the Lagrangian of a hypergraph $G$. In 1980's, Sidorenko showed that $\pi(F)$, the Tur\'an…

Let $P$ denote a 3-uniform hypergraph consisting of 7 vertices $a,b,c,d,e,f,g$ and 3 edges $\{a,b,c\}, \{c,d,e\},$ and $\{e,f,g\}$. It is known that the $r$-colored Ramsey number for $P$ is $R(P;r)=r+6$ for $r=2,3$, and that $R(P;r)\le 3r$…

A famous conjecture of Tuza \cite{tuza} is that the minimal number of edges needed to cover all triangles in a graph is at most twice the maximal number of edge-disjoint triangles. We propose a wider setting for this conjecture. For a…

In this paper we continue the study of a natural generalization of Tur\'an's forbidden subgraph problem and the Ruzsa-Szemer\'edi problem. Let $ex_F(n,G)$ denote the maximum number of edge-disjoint copies of a fixed simple graph $F$ that…

The planar Tur\'an number of a graph $H$, denoted by $ex_{_\mathcal{P}}(n,H)$, is the largest number of edges in a planar graph on $n $ vertices without containing $H$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we continue to study the topic of…

We study graphs that are simultaneously regular with respect to the ordinary vertex degree and regular with respect to the triangle degree, that is, the number of triangles containing a given vertex. We call such graphs regular…

Given a fixed graph H, we say that a graph G is H-free if G does not contain H as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number ex(n, H) of H is the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex H-free graph. The study of Tur\'an number of graphs is a central…

Let $\mathbb{S}_g$ be the orientable surface of genus $g$. We show that the number of vertex-labelled cubic multigraphs embeddable on $\mathbb{S}_g$ with $2n$ vertices is asymptotically $c_g n^{5(g-1)/2-1}\gamma^{2n}(2n)!$, where $\gamma$…
