Let $F$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $H$ is a {\it Berge}-$F$ if there is a bijection $f : E(F) \rightarrow E(H )$ such that $e \subseteq f(e)$ for every $e \in E(F)$. Note that Berge-$F$ actually denotes a class of hypergraphs. The…

Given two graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized planar Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}_\mathcal{P}(n,H,F)$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ that an $n$-vertex $F$-free planar graph can have. We investigate this function when $H$ and $F$ are…

We determine the maximum number of edges of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with the property that none of its $r$-cliques intersects a fixed set $M\subset V(G)$. For $(r-1)|M|\ge n$, the $(r-1)$-partite Turan graph turns out to be the unique…

The Tur\'an number $\ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex $H$-free graph can have. The suspension $\widehat{H}$ is obtained from $H$ by adding a new vertex which is adjacent to all vertices of $H$ and a tree is…

The extension of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$ is obtained from it by adding for every pair of vertices of $G$, which is not covered by an edge in $G$, an extra edge containing this pair and $(r-2)$ new vertices. In this paper we determine…

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the {\it Tur\'an number} $\ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. A real number $r\in(1,2)$ is called a {\it Tur\'an exponent} if…

Hajos' conjecture that every simple even graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $(n-1)/2$ cycles (see L. Lovasz, On covering of graphs, in: P. Erdos, G.O.H. Katona (Eds.), Theory of Graphs, Academic Press, New York, 1968, pp.…

Let $F$ be a graph with chromatic number $\chi(F) = r+1$. Denote by $ex(n, F)$ and $Ex(n, F)$ the Tur\'{a}n number and the set of all extremal graphs for $F$, respectively. In addition, $ex_{ssp}(n, F)$ and $Ex_{ssp}(n, F)$ are the maximum…

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…

The Tur\'an problem asks for the largest number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph not containing a fixed forbidden subgraph $F$. We construct a new family of graphs not containing $K_{s,t}$, for $t= C^s$, with $\Omega(n^{2-1/s})$ edges…

In 1964, Erd\H{o}s proposed the problem of estimating the Tur\'an number of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d$. Since $Q_d$ is a bipartite graph with maximum degree $d$, it follows from results of F\"uredi and Alon, Krivelevich, Sudakov…
