Given two $r$-uniform hypergraphs $G$ and $H$ the Tur\'an number $\rm{ex}(G, H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $H$-free subgraph of $G$. We study the typical value of $\rm{ex}(G, H)$ when $G=G_{n,p}^{(r)}$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi…

A hypergraph is linear if any two of its edges intersect in at most one vertex. The Sail (or $3$-fan) $F^3$ is the $3$-uniform linear hypergraph consisting of $3$ edges $f_1, f_2, f_3$ pairwise intersecting in the same vertex $v$ and an…

Let $F$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $H$ contains an induced Berge $F$ if the vertices of $F$ can be embedded to $H$ (e.g., $V(F)\subseteq V(H)$) and there exists an injective mapping $f$ from the edges of $F$ to the hyperedges of…

Hakimi and Schmeichel determined a sharp lower bound for the number of cycles of length 4 in a maximal planar graph with $n$ vertices, $n\geq 5$. It has been shown that the bound is sharp for $n = 5,12$ and $n\geq 14$ vertices. However, the…

A geometric graph is a drawing of a graph in the plane where the vertices are drawn as points in general position and the edges as straight-line segments connecting their endpoints. It is plane if it contains no crossing edges. We study…

A \textit{linear $3$-graph}, $H = (V, E)$, is a set, $V$, of vertices together with a set, $E$, of $3$-element subsets of $V$, called edges, so that any two distinct edges intersect in at most one vertex. The linear Tur\'an number, ${\rm…

Given a graph $H$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the generalized Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,\mathcal{F})$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex graphs that do not contain any member of $\mathcal{F}$ as a…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph $G$ is $\mathscr{F}$-free if $G$ does not contain any $F\in \mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number $ex(n, \mathscr{F})$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex…

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…

For a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is said to be {\it $\mathcal{H}$-free} if $G$ contains no member of $\mathcal{H}$ as an induced subgraph. We let $\tilde{\mathcal{G}}_{3}(\mathcal{H})$ denote the family of connected…

A classical Tur\'an problem asks for the maximum possible number of edges in a graph of a given order that does not contain a particular graph $H$ as a subgraph. It is well-known that the chromatic number of $H$ is the graph parameter which…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. A vertex of $G$ with degree at least $n/2$ is called a heavy vertex, and a cycle of $G$ which contains all the heavy vertices of $G$ is called a heavy cycle. In this paper, we characterize the graphs…
