Motivated by the Ruzsa-Szemer\'{e}di problem, Imolay, Karl, Nagy, and V\'{a}li studied a variant of Tur\'{a}n number $ex_F(n,G)$ (called the $F$-multicolor Tur\'{a}n number of $G$), defined as the maximum number of edge-disjoint copies of…

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the Tur\'{a}n number of $H$ for the order $n$, denoted $ex(n,H)$, is the maximum size of a simple graph of order $n$ not containing $H$ as a subgraph. Given graphs $G$ and $H$, the notation $G…

For a fixed graph $F$, let $ex_F(G)$ denote the size of the largest $F$-free subgraph of $G$. Computing or estimating $ex_F(G)$ for various pairs $F,G$ is one of the central problems in extremal combinatorics. It is thus natural to ask how…

The $r$-expansion $G^+$ of a graph $G$ is the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $G$ by enlarging each edge of $G$ with a vertex subset of size $r-2$ disjoint from $V(G)$ such that distinct edges are enlarged by disjoint subsets. Let…

The vertex set of the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ is $V = \binom{[n]}{k}$ and two vertices are adjacent if the corresponding sets are disjoint. For any graph $F$, the largest size of a vertex set $U \subseteq V$ such that $K(n,k)[U]$ is $F$-free,…

The classical spectral Tur\'{a}n problem is to determine the maximum spectral radius of an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph of order $n$. Zhai and Wang [Linear Algebra Appl, 437 (2012) 1641-1647] determined the maximum spectral radius of…

Recently, Alon and Frankl (JCTB, 2024) determined the maximum number of edges in $K_{\ell+1}$-free $n$-vertex graphs with bounded matching number. For integers $\ell\ge r \ge 2$, the family $\mathcal{K}_{\ell+1}^{r}$ consists of all…

For graphs $H$ and $F$, let $\operatorname{ex}(n, H, F)$ be the maximum possible number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. The study of this function, which generalises the well-studied Tur\'an numbers of graphs, was…

Given a graph $F$, the $r$-expansion $F^r$ of $F$ is the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $F$ by inserting $r-2$ new distinct vertices in each edge of $F$. Given $r$-uniform hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{F}$, the generalized…

For a 2-graph $F$, let $H_F^{(r)}$ be the $r$-graph obtained from $F$ by enlarging each edge with a new set of $r-2$ vertices. We show that if $\chi(F)=\ell>r \geq 2$, then $ {\rm ex}(n,H_F^{(r)})= t_r (n,\ell-1)+ \Theta( {\rm…
