We study the generalized Tur\'an function $ex(n,H,F)$, when $H$ or $F$ is a double star $S_{a,b}$, which is a tree with a central edge $uv$, $a$ leaves connected to $u$ and $b$ leaves connected to $v$. We determine $ex(n,K_k,S_{a,b})$ and…

The extremal number of a graph $H$, denoted by $\mbox{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain $H$. The celebrated K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem says that for a complete bipartite graph…

We address a problem which is a generalization of Tur\'an-type problems recently introduced by Imolay, Karl, Nagy and V\'ali. Let $F$ be a fixed graph and let $G$ be the union of $k$ edge-disjoint copies of $F$, namely $G =…

The Tur\'an number $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. Let $T$ be any tree. The odd-ballooning of $T$, denoted by $T_o$, is a graph obtained by replacing each edge of $T$ with an odd cycle…

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $n,$ the Tur\'{a}n number of $H$ for the order $n,$ denoted ${\rm ex}(n,H),$ is the maximum size of a simple graph of order $n$ not containing $H$ as a subgraph. The book with $p$ pages, denoted…

We study the generalized Tur\'an function $ex(n,H,F)$, when $H$ or $F$ is $K_{2,t}$. We determine the order of magnitude of $ex(n,H,K_{2,t})$ when $H$ is a tree, and determine its asymptotics for a large class of trees. We also determine…

Given a positive integer $n$ and an $r$-uniform hypergraph (or $r$-graph for short) $F$, the Turan number $ex(n,F)$ of $F$ is the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. The extension…

A rational number $r$ is a \textbf{realizable exponent} for a graph $H$ if there exists a finite family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$ such that $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,\mathcal{F})=\Theta(n^r)$, where $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,\mathcal{F})$ denotes the maximum…

The classic extremal problem is that of computing the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free graph. In the case where $F=K_{r+1}$, the extremal number was determined by Tur\'an. Later results, known as supersaturation theorems, proved that…
