A topological graph is $k$-quasi-planar if it does not contain $k$ pairwise crossing edges. A 20-year-old conjecture asserts that for every fixed $k$, the maximum number of edges in a $k$-quasi-planar graph on $n$ vertices is $O(n)$. Fox…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph is $s$-almost intersecting if every edge is disjoint from exactly $s$ other edges. Gerbner, Lemons, Palmer, Patk\'os and Sz\'ecsi conjectured that for every $k$, and $s>s_0(k)$, every $k$-uniform $s$-almost…

The incidence matrix of a graph is totally unimodular if and only if the graph is bipartite, i.e., it contains no odd cycles. We extend the characterization of total unimodularity to hypergraphs whose hyperedges of size at least four are…

A geometric graph is a graph drawn in the plane so that its vertices and edges are represented by points in general position and straight line segments, respectively. A vertex of a geometric graph is called pointed if it lies outside of the…

In 2016, Dowden initiated the study of planar Tur\'an-type problems, which has since attracted considerable attention. Recently, Bekos et al. proved that every $K_3$-free $1$-planar graph on $n\ge 4$ vertices has at most $3n-6$ edges. In…

We study the existence of hamiltonian cycles in plane cubic graphs G having a facial 2-factor Q. Thus hamiltonicity in G is transformed into the existence of a (quasi) spanning tree of faces in the contraction G/Q. In particular, we study…

In this note, we prove several Tur\'an-type results on geometric hypergraphs. The two main theorems are 1) Every $n$-vertex geometric 3-hypergraph in 2-space with no three strongly crossing edges has at most $O(n^2)$ edges, 2) Every…

Given a polyhedron (planar, $3$-connected graph) $G$, we investigate its common neighbourhood graph con($G$). For cubic ($3$-regular) polyhedra, we show that the planarity of con($G$) depends on the number of odd faces of $G$, and on their…

Confirming a conjecture of Vera T. S\'os in a very strong sense, we give a complete solution to Tur\'an's hypergraph problem for the Fano plane. That is we prove for $n\ge 8$ that among all $3$-uniform hypergraphs on $n$ vertices not…

Hartsfield and Ringel constructed orientable quadrangular embeddings of the complete graph $K_n$ for $n\equiv 5 \pmod 8$, and nonorientable ones for $n \ge 9$ and $n\equiv 1 \pmod 4$. These provide minimal quadrangulations of their…

Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph contains a subset of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2/50$ edges. Extending a recent result of Norin and Yepremyan, we confirm this conjecture for graphs…

We prove that for every complete multipartite graph $F$ there exist very dense graphs $G_n$ on $n$ vertices, namely with as many as ${n\choose 2}-cn$ edges for all $n$, for some constant $c=c(F)$, such that $G_n$ can be decomposed into…

Let $G$ be a $K_4$-free graph, an edge in its complement is a $K_4$-\emph{saturating} edge if the addition of this edge to $G$ creates a copy of $K_4$. Erd\H{o}s and Tuza conjectured that for any $n$-vertex $K_4$-free graph $G$ with…

We show that, for any graph $F$ and $\eta>0$, there exists a $d_0=d_0(F,\eta)$ such that every $n$-vertex $d$-regular graph with $d \geq d_0$ has a collection of vertex-disjoint $F$-subdivisions covering at least $(1-\eta)n$ vertices. This…

We consider the problem of drawing an outerplanar graph with $n$ vertices with at most one bend per edge if the outer face is already drawn as a simple polygon. We prove that it can be decided in $O(nm)$ time if such a drawing exists, where…

A sparse version of Mantel's Theorem is that, for sufficiently large $p$, with high probability (w.h.p.), every maximum triangle-free subgraph of $G(n,p)$ is bipartite. DeMarco and Kahn proved this for $p>K \sqrt{\log n/n}$ for some…

We prove that if a pure simplicial complex of dimension d with n facets has the least possible number of (d-1)-dimensional faces among all complexes with n faces of dimension d, then it is vertex decomposable. This answers a question of J.…

We study a natural model of random 2-dimensional cubical complex which is a subcomplex of an n-dimensional cube, and where every possible square $2$-face is included independently with probability p. Our main result is to exhibit a sharp…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s asserts that for $k\ge 3$, the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph without $s+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $\max\{\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-s}{k},\binom{sk+k-1}{k}\}$. This problem…

We show that every $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices which does not contain a tight cycle has at most $O(n^{r-1} (\log n)^5)$ edges. This is an improvement on the previously best-known bound, of $n^{r-1} e^{O(\sqrt{\log n})}$, due to…
