The Tur\'an number of a graph $F$, $ex(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. Let $S_{a,b}$ denote a double star with a central edge $uv$, $a$ leaves connected to $u$ and…

Given a graph $F$, we define $\operatorname{ex}(G_{n,p},F)$ to be the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of the random graph $G_{n,p}$. Very little is known about $\operatorname{ex}(G_{n,p},F)$ when $F$ is bipartite, with…

Generalized Tur\'an problems ask for the maximum number of copies of a graph $H$ in an $n$-vertex, $F$-free graph, denoted by ex$(n,H,F)$. We show how to extend the new, localized approach of Brada\v{c}, Malec, and Tompkins to generalized…

In this paper we estimate the planar Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}_\mathcal{P}(n,H)$ of some graphs $H$, i.e., the maximum number of edges in a planar graph $G$ of $n$ vertices not containing $H$ as a subgraph. We give a new, short proof when…

The $r$-expansion of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$, denoted by $H^{(+r)}$, is an $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained by enlarging each $k$-edge of $H$ with a set of $r-k$ vertices of degree one. The random Tur\'an number…

We study the Tur\'{a}n problem for highly symmetric bipartite graphs arising from geometric shapes and periodic tilings commonly found in nature. 1. The prism $C_{2\ell}^{\square}:=C_{2\ell}\square K_{2}$ is the graph consisting of two…

Fix a graph $F$. We say that a graph is {\it $F$-free} if it does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. The {\it Tur\'an number} of $F$, denoted $\mathrm{ex}(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges possible in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. The study…

The oriented Tur\'{a}n number of a given oriented graph $\overrightarrow{F}$, denoted by $\exo(n,\overrightarrow{F})$, is the largest number of arcs in $n$-vertex $\overrightarrow{F}$-free oriented graphs. This concept could be seen as an…

For every positive integer $t$ we construct a finite family of triple systems ${\mathcal M}_t$, determine its Tur\'{a}n number, and show that there are $t$ extremal ${\mathcal M}_t$-free configurations that are far from each other in…

An ordered graph $H$ is a simple graph with a linear order on its vertex set. The corresponding Tur\'an problem, first studied by Pach and Tardos, asks for the maximum number $\text{ex}_<(n,H)$ of edges in an ordered graph on $n$ vertices…

Given two graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ is the largest number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. For every $F$ and sufficiently large $n$, we present an extremal graph for a…

The generalized Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n, H, F)$ denotes the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. Let $kK_{r+1}$ be the disjoint union of $k$ copies of the complete graph $K_{r+1}$. Recently, Gerbner…

For positive integers $n\ge s> r$, the Tur\'an function $T(n,s,r)$ is the smallest size of an r-graph with n vertices such that every set of s vertices contains at least one edge. Also, define the Tur\'an density $t(s,r)$ as the limit of…

Turan's theorem implies that every graph of order n with more edges than the r-partite Turan graph contains a complete graph of order r+1. We show that the same premise implies the existence of much larger graphs. We also prove…

Let $C^{2k}_r$ be the $2k$-uniform hypergraph obtained by letting $P_1,...,P_r$ be pairwise disjoint sets of size $k$ and taking as edges all sets $P_i \cup P_j$ with $i \neq j$. This can be thought of as the `$k$-expansion' of the complete…

Given a graph $H$, the Tur\'an number $ex(n,H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We make progress on a recent conjecture of Conlon, Janzer, and Lee on the Tur\'an numbers of bipartite graphs, which in…

Let $r \ge 3$ be fixed and $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph. A long-standing conjecture of Gy\H{o}ri states that if $e(G) = t_{r-1}(n) + k$, where $t_{r-1}(n)$ denotes the number of edges of the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices and $r - 1$ parts,…

The aim of this work is to investigate the nonnegative signed domination number $\gamma^{NN}_s$ with emphasis on regular, ($r+1$)-clique-free graphs and trees. We give lower and upper bounds on $\gamma^{NN}_s$ for regular graphs and prove…

Let $F$ be a strictly balanced $r$-uniform hypergraph with $e>2$ edges and $r$-density $m$. We give a new short proof of the fact that the Tur\'an number $\ex(n, F)$ is greater than $c\, n^{r-1/m} (\log n)^{1/(e-1)}$ where $c$ depends only…

We study Tur\'an-type extremal problems for distance graphs, motivated by work of Csikv\'ari, Bollob\'as, Tyomkyn, and Uzzell. We determine the maximum number of vertex pairs at distance three in an $n$-vertex graph with no triangle formed…
