In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a $K_{2,t}$-minor free graph of order $n\geq t^2+4t+1$ with $t\geq 3$, the signless Laplacian spectral radius $q(G)\leq \frac{1}{2}(n+2t-2+\sqrt{(n-2t+2)^2+8t-8}\ )$ with equality if and only if…

Given a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ and a graph $G$, we say that $\mathcal{H}$ is a \textit{Berge}-$G$ if there is a bijection between the hyperedges of $\mathcal{H}$ and the edges of $G$ such that each hyperedge contains its image. We denote…

We study the behaviour of $K_{r+1}$-free graphs $G$ of almost extremal size, that is, typically, $e(G)=ex(n,K_{r+1})-O(n)$. We show that such graphs must have a large amount of 'symmetry', in particular that all but very few vertices of $G$…

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…

A signed graph is a graph whose edges are given (-1,+1) weights. In such a graph, the sign of a cycle is the product of the signs of its edges. A signed graph is called balanced if its adjacency matrix is similar to the adjacency matrix of…

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…

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…

A well-known result of Mantel asserts that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph $G$ has at most $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$ edges. Moreover, Erd\H{o}s proved that if $G$ is further non-bipartite, then $e(G)\le \lfloor {(n-1)^2}/{4}\rfloor +1$.…

For a graph $H$ and a $k$-chromatic graph $F,$ if the Tur\'an graph $T_{k-1}(n)$ has the maximum number of copies of $H$ among all $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs (for $n$ large enough), then $H$ is called $F$-Tur\'an-good, or $k$-Tur\'an-good…

Let $H$ be a graph and $t\geq s\geq 2$ be integers. We prove that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with no copy of $H$ and no induced copy of $K_{s,t}$, then $\lambda(G) = O\left(n^{1-1/s}\right)$ where $\lambda(G)$ is the spectral radius of…
