Two vertices $u, v \in V$ of an undirected connected graph $G=(V,E)$ are resolved by a vertex $w$ if the distance between $u$ and $w$ and the distance between $v$ and $w$ are different. A set $R \subseteq V$ of vertices is a $k$-resolving…

A graph $G$ is $H$-free, if it contains no $H$ as a subgraph. A graph is said to be \emph{$H$-minor free}, if it does not contain $H$ as a minor. In recent years, Nikiforov asked that what is the maximum spectral radius of an $H$-free graph…

Let $G$ be an induced subgraph of the hypercube $Q_k$ for some $k$. We show that if $|G|$ is a power of $2$ then, for sufficiciently large $n$, the vertex set of $Q_n$ can be partitioned into induced copies of $G$. This answers a question…

In this paper, we prove the asymptotic multipartite version of the Alon-Yuster theorem, which is a generalization of the Hajnal-Szemer\'edi theorem: If $k\geq 3$ is an integer, $H$ is a $k$-colorable graph and $\gamma>0$ is fixed, then, for…

F\"uredi and Gunderson showed that $ex(n, C_{2k+1})$ is achieved only on $K_{\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor, \lceil\frac{n}{2}\rceil}$ if $n\ge 4k-2$. It is natural to study how far a $ C_{2k+1}$-free graph is from being bipartite.Let $T^*(r,…

The Kneser graph $K(n,d)$ is the graph on the $d$-subsets of an $n$-set, adjacent when disjoint. Clearly, $K(n+d,d)$ is locally $K(n,d)$. Hall showed for $n \ge 3d+1$ that there are no further examples. Here we give other examples of…

Given a graph $F$, we define $\operatorname{ex}(G_{n,p},F)$ to be the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of the random graph $G_{n,p}$. Very little is known about $\operatorname{ex}(G_{n,p},F)$ when $F$ is bipartite, with…

A well-known application of the dependent random choice asserts that any $n$-vertex graph $G$ with positive edge density contains a `rich' vertex subset $U$ of size $n^{1-o(1)}$ such that every pair of vertices in $U$ has at least…

Let v(G) be the number of vertices and t(G,k) the maximum number of disjoint k-edge trees in G. In this paper we show that (a1) if G is a graph with every vertex of degree at least two and at most s, where s > 3, then t(G,2) is at least…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ denotes the largest number of copies of $H$ in $F$-free $n$-vertex graphs. Let $\chi(H)<\chi(F)=r+1$. We say that $H$ is $F$-Tur\'an-stable if the following holds. For any $\varepsilon>0$ there…

We show that for $n \geq 3, n\ne 5$, in any partition of $\mathcal{P}(n)$, the set of all subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$, into $2^{n-2}-1$ parts, some part must contain a triangle --- three different subsets $A,B,C\subseteq [n]$ such that…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph is called $\mathcal{F}$-free if it does not contain any member of $\mathcal{F}$. Generalized Tur\'{a}n problems aim to maximize the number of copies of a graph $H$ in an $n$-vertex…

We consider a natural, yet seemingly not much studied, extremal problem in bipartite graphs. A bi-hole of size $t$ in a bipartite graph $G$ is a copy of $K_{t, t}$ in the bipartite complement of $G$. Let $f(n, \Delta)$ be the largest $k$…

The celebrated K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem states that any $n$-vertex graph containing no copy of the complete bipartite graph $K_{s,s}$ has at most $O_s(n^{2-1/s})$ edges. In the past two decades, motivated by the applications in…

A fullerene graph is a cubic bridgeless planar graph with twelve 5-faces such that all other faces are 6-faces. We show that any fullerene graph on n vertices can be bipartized by removing O(sqrt{n}) edges. This bound is asymptotically…

Let $G$ be a graph and $k$ be a positive integer, and let $Kc(G, k)$ denote the number of Kempe equivalence classes for the $k$-colorings of $G$. In 2006, Mohar noted that $Kc(G, k) = 1$ if $G$ is bipartite. As a generalization, we show…

A graph drawn in the plane with n vertices is k-fan-crossing free for k > 1 if there are no k+1 edges $g,e_1,...e_k$, such that $e_1,e_2,...e_k$ have a common endpoint and $g$ crosses all $e_i$. We prove a tight bound of 4n-8 on the maximum…
