A Kneser graph $KG_{n,k}$ is a graph whose vertices are in one-to-one correspondence with $k$-element subsets of $[n],$ with two vertices connected if and only if the corresponding sets do not intersect. A famous result due to Lov\'asz…

Given a graph $T$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph on $n$ vertices is called the generalized Tur\'{a}n number, denoted by $ex(n, T , \mathcal{F})$. When $T= K_2$, it…

We consider in detail the well-known family of graphs $G(q,t)$ that establish an asymptotic lower bound for Tur\'an numbers $\mathrm{ex}(n,K_{2,t+1})$. We prove that $G(q,t)$ for some specific $q$ and $t$ also gives an asymptotic bound for…

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$, and $L(G)$ be the line graph of $G$, which has vertex set $E(G)$ and two vertices $e$ and $f$ of $L(G)$ is adjacent if $e$ and $f$ is incident in $G$. The vertex-edge graph…

An $n$-by-$n$ bipartite graph is $H$-saturated if the addition of any missing edge between its two parts creates a new copy of $H$. In 1964, Erd\H{o}s, Hajnal and Moon made a conjecture on the minimum number of edges in a…

For graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'an number $ex(n,H,F)$ is the largest number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We consider this problem when both $H$ and $F$ have at most four vertices. We give sharp results…

A bipartite graph $G$ is semi-algebraic in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if its vertices are represented by point sets $P,Q \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and its edges are defined as pairs of points $(p,q) \in P\times Q$ that satisfy a Boolean combination of a…

A triple of vertices in a graph is a \emph{frustrated triangle} if it induces an odd number of edges. We study the set $F_n\subset[0,\binom{n}{3}]$ of possible number of frustrated triangles $f(G)$ in a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. We prove…

The generalized Tur\'an number $\ex(n,K_s,F)$ denotes the maximum number of copies of $K_s$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. Let $kF$ denote $k$ disjoint copies of $F$. Gerbner, Methuku and Vizer [DM, 2019, 3130-3141] gave a lower bound for…

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…

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…

In 1995, Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'arf\'as proved that in every $2$-colouring of the edges of $K_n$, there is a vertex cover by $2\sqrt{n}$ monochromatic paths of the same colour, which is optimal up to a constant factor. The main goal of this…

For a family of graphs $\F$, a graph is called $\F$-free if it does not contain any member of $\F$ as a subgraph. The generalized Tur\'an number $\ex(n,K_r,\F)$ is the maximum number of $K_r$ in an $n$-vertex $\F$-free graph and…
