A copy of a graph $F$ is called an $F$-copy. For any graph $G$, the $F$-isolation number of $G$, denoted by $\iota(G,F)$, is the size of a smallest subset $D$ of the vertex set of $G$ such that the closed neighbourhood $N[D]$ of $D$ in $G$…

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…

By the theorem of Mantel $[5]$ it is known that a graph with $n$ vertices and $\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4} \rfloor+1$ edges must contain a triangle. A theorem of Erd\H{o}s gives a strengthening: there are not only one, but at least…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $r$-graphs. An $r$-graph $G$ is called $\mathcal{F}$-saturated if it does not contain any members of $\mathcal{F}$ but adding any edge creates a copy of some $r$-graph in $\mathcal{F}$. The saturation number…

A well known result due to Andr\'asfai, Erd\H{o}s, and S\'os asserts that for $r\ge 2$ every $K_{r+1}$-free graph on $n$ vertices with $\delta(G)>\frac{3r-4}{3r-1}n$ is $r$-partite. We study related questions in the context of weighted…

Menger's Theorem is a fundamental result in graph theory. It states that if in a graph $G$ with distinguished sets of terminal vertices $S$ and $T$ there are no $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint $S$-$T$ paths, then there is a set of less than…

A hypergraph $H$ is called universal for a family $\mathcal{F}$ of hypergraphs, if it contains every hypergraph $F \in \mathcal{F}$ as a copy. For the family of $r$-uniform hypergraphs with maximum vertex degree bounded by $\Delta$ and at…

Grohe and Marx proved that if G does not contain H as a topological minor, then there exist constants g=O(|V(H)|^4), D and t depending only on H such that G is a clique sum of graphs that either contain at most t vertices of degree greater…

We prove that for all $\mu>0, t\in (0,1)$ and sufficiently large $n\in 4\mathbb{N}$, if $G$ is an edge-weighted complete graph on $n$ vertices with a weight function $w: E(G)\rightarrow [0,1]$ and the minimum weighted degree…

This is a companion paper to the paper "Hyperstability in the Erdos-Sos Conjecture". In that paper the following rough structure theorem was proved for graphs G containing no copy of a bounded degree tree T: from any such G, one can delete…

Given a weighted graph $G=(V,E,w)$, a partition of $V$ is $\Delta$-bounded if the diameter of each cluster is bounded by $\Delta$. A distribution over $\Delta$-bounded partitions is a $\beta$-padded decomposition if every ball of radius…

We use the polynomial method of Guth and Katz to establish stronger and {\it more efficient} regularity and density theorems for such $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H=(P,E)$, where $P$ is a finite point set in ${\mathbb R}^d$, and the edge set…

Let $T$ be a tree such that all its vertices of degree more than two lie on one path, that is, $T$ is a caterpillar subdivision. We prove that there exists $\epsilon>0$ such that for every graph $G$ with $|V(G)|\ge 2$ not containing $T$ as…

We prove a conjecture of Sintiari and Trotignon that every even-hole-free graph of sufficiently large treewidth contains a four-vertex induced subgraph with at least five edges (that is, either the four-vertex complete graph or the unique…

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…

Erd\H{o}s posed the problem of finding conditions on a graph $G$ that imply the largest number of edges in a triangle-free subgraph is equal to the largest number of edges in a bipartite subgraph. We generalize this problem to general…

We will show that for $\alpha>0$ there is $n_0$ such that if $G$ is a graph on $n\geq n_0$ vertices such that $\alpha n< \delta(G)< (n-1)/2$, then for every $n_1+n_2+\cdots +n_l= \delta(G)$, $G$ contains a disjoint union of…
