We establish tight lower and upper bounds on the number of edges in traceable graphs in several classes of dense graphs. A graph is traceable if it has a Hamiltonian path. We show that the bound is: - quadratic for the class of graphs of…

Given a collection of graphs $\mathbf{G}=(G_1, \ldots, G_m)$ with the same vertex set, an $m$-edge graph $H\subset \cup_{i\in [m]}G_i$ is a transversal if there is a bijection $\phi:E(H)\to [m]$ such that $e\in E(G_{\phi(e)})$ for each…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

Addressing a question posed by Chen and Ma from an asymptotic point of view, we present a short proof for the edge density needed to guarantee that two vertices of the same degree are connected by a path of a fixed length. In particular, we…

Let $G$ be a bipartite graph with bipartition $(X,Y)$. Inspired by a hypergraph problem, we seek an upper bound on the number of disjoint paths needed to cover all the vertices of $X$. We conjecture that a Hall-type sufficient condition…

We prove inequalities between the densities of various bipartite subgraphs in signed graphs and graphons. One of the main inequalities is that the density of any bipartite graph with girth r cannot exceed the density of the r-cycle. This…

Inspired by a concept in comparative genomics, we investigate properties of randomly chosen members of G_1(m,n,t), the set of bipartite graphs with $m$ left vertices, n right vertices, t edges, and each vertex of degree at least one. We…

We systematically study a natural problem in extremal graph theory, to minimize the number of edges in a graph with a fixed number of vertices, subject to a certain local condition: each vertex must be in a copy of a fixed graph $H$. We…

We solve a problem of Krivelevich, Kwan and Sudakov [SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics 31 (2017), 155-171] concerning the threshold for the containment of all bounded degree spanning trees in the model of randomly perturbed dense graphs.…

This paper investigates the number of random edges required to add to an arbitrary dense graph in order to make the resulting graph hamiltonian with high probability. Adding $\Theta(n)$ random edges is both necessary and sufficient to…

The number of spanning trees in a graph $G$ is the total number of distinct spanning subgraphs of $G$ that are trees. In this paper we characterize the unique graph with a prescribed vertex (resp. edge) connectivity, minimum degree and…

We prove that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ defined by finitely many excluded induced subgraphs has bounded tree-$\alpha$ if and only if it is "$(\mathrm{tw},\omega)$-bounded" (that is, for all $t\in \mathbb N$, the class of all…

Let $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ be a hereditary graph class (i.e, every subgraph of $G_{\alpha}\in \mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ belongs to $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$) such that every graph $G_{\alpha}$ in $\mathcal{G}_{\alpha}$ has minimum degree at most…

The Kohayakawa-Nagle-R\"odl-Schacht conjecture roughly states that every sufficiently large locally $d$-dense graph $G$ on $n$ vertices must contain at least $(1-o(1))d^{|E(H)|}n^{|V(H)|}$ copies of a fixed graph $H$. Despite its important…
