Caro, Patk\'os, and Tuza initiated a systematic study of the bipartite Tur\'an number for trees, and in particular asked for the extremal number of edges in connected bipartite graphs with prescribed color-class sizes that contain no paths…

McCarty and Thomas conjectured that a linklessly embeddable graph with $n\ge 7 $ vertices and $t$ triangles has at most $3n-9 +\frac{t}{3}$ edges. Thomas and Yoo proved this to be true for apex graphs. We give a shorter and simpler proof…

Given an undirected graph G, the edge orientation problem asks for assigning a direction to each edge to convert G into a directed graph. The aim is to minimize the maximum out degree of a vertex in the resulting directed graph. This…

Determining the maximum number of edges in an intersecting hypergraph on a fixed ground set under additional constraints is one of the central topics in extremal combinatorics. In contrast, there are few results on analogous problems…

The super edge-magicness of graphs of equal order and size has been shown to be important since such graphs can be used as seeds to answer many questions related to (super) edge-magic labelings and other types of well studied labelings, as…

The abstract chromatic number was introduced by Razborov and Coregliano in 2020 in using the language of model theory, and was used to extend the Erd\H os-Stone-Simonovits theorem to graphs with extra structures. A purely combinatorial…

A directed graph is oriented if it can be obtained by orienting the edges of a simple, undirected graph. For an oriented graph $G$, let $\beta(G)$ denote the size of a minimum feedback arc set, a smallest subset of edges whose deletion…

The classic extremal problem is that of computing the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free graph. In the case where $F=K_{r+1}$, the extremal number was determined by Tur\'an. Later results, known as supersaturation theorems, proved that…

This note answers extremal questions like: what is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order n, which belongs to some hereditary property. The same question is answered also for the spectral radius and other similar parameters.

A graph $G$ is $[a,b]$-covered if for each edge $e$ of $G$ there is an $[a,b]$-factor containing it. For $a=b=1$, an $[a,b]$-covered graph is a matching covered graph. The structural theory of matching covered graphs constitutes a…

Contraction of an edge merges its end points into a new vertex which is adjacent to each neighbor of the end points of the edge. An edge in a $k$-connected graph is {\em contractible} if its contraction does not result in a graph of lower…

In this paper we introduce a unifying approach to the generalized Tur\'an problem and supersaturation results in graph theory. The supersaturation-extremal function $satex(n, F : m, G)$ is the least number of copies of a subgraph $G$ an…

An extremal graph for a given graph $H$ is a graph with maximum number of edges on fixed number of vertices without containing a copy of $H$. The $k$-th power of a path is a graph obtained from a path and joining all pair of vertices of the…

The Tur\'{a}n number of a graph $H$, $\text{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. For a vertex $v$ and a multi-set $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, the suspension $\mathcal{F}+v$…

A temporal graph is a graph in which edges are assigned a time label. Two nodes u and v of a temporal graph are connected one to the other if there exists a path from u to v with increasing edge time labels. We consider the problem of…

Diophantine tuples are of ancient and modern interest, with a huge literature. In this paper we study Diophantine graphs, i.e., finite graphs whose vertices are distinct positive integers, and two vertices are linked by an edge if and only…

Extremal Graph Theory is a very deep and wide area of modern combinatorics. It is very fast developing, and in this long but relatively short survey we select some of those results which either we feel very important in this field or which…
