We study the topic of "extremal" planar graphs, defining $\mathrm{ex_{_{\mathcal{P}}}}(n,H)$ to be the maximum number of edges possible in a planar graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a given graph $H$ as a subgraph. In…

An $r$-pattern $P$ is defined as an ordered pair $P=([l],E)$, where $l$ is a positive integer and $E$ is a set of $r$-multisets with elements from $[l]$. An $r$-graph $H$ is said to be $P$-colorable if there is a homomorphism $\phi$:…

We investigate extremal problems for hypergraphs satisfying the following density condition. A $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V, E)$ is $(d, \eta,P_2)$-dense if for any two subsets of pairs $P$, $Q\subseteq V\times V$ the number of pairs…

The forbidden subgraph problem is among the oldest in extremal combinatorics -- how many edges can an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph have? The answer to this question is the well-studied extremal number of $F$. Observing that every extremal…

This survey is two-fold. We first report new progress on the spectral extremal results on the Tur\'{a}n type problems in graph theory. More precisely, we shall summarize the spectral Tur\'{a}n function in terms of the adjacency spectral…

Given a graph $H$ and a natural number $n$, the extremal number $\mathrm{ex}(n, H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph containing no copy of $H$. In this paper, we obtain a general upper bound for the extremal number of…

We prove two conjectures in spectral extremal graph theory involving the linear combinations of graph eigenvalues. Let $\lambda_1(G)$ be the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G$, and $\bar{G}$ be the complement of $G$.…

Let $tK_4$ denote the family of all graphs consisting of $t$ copies of $K_4$ that are allowed to share vertices and $t\mathcal{K}_{4}^{-}$ be the set of all unbalanced signed graphs whose underlying graphs are elements of $tK_4$. In this…

For $l > 1$, the $l$-edge-connectivity $\kappa'_l(G)$ of a connected graph $G$ is defined as the minimum number of edges whose removal leaves a graph with at least $l$ components. A graph is minimally $(k,l)$-edge-connected if…

A factor of a graph is essentially a specific type spanning subgraph. The study of characterizing the existence of $[a, b]$-factors based on eigenvalue conditions can be traced back to the work of Brouwer and Haemers (2005) on perfect…

Over the past half century, the rigidity of graphs in $R^2$ has aroused a great deal of interest. Lov\'{a}sz and Yemini (1982) proved that every $6$-connected graph is rigid in $R^2$. Jackson and Jord\'{a}n (2005) provided a similar…

A well-known theorem of Mantel states that every $n$-vertex graph with more than $\lfloor n^2/4\rfloor $ edges contains a triangle. An interesting problem in extremal graph theory studies the minimum number of edges contained in triangles…

Fix a color-critical graph $H$ with $\chi(H)=r+1\geq 3$. Simonovits' chromatic critical edge theorem and Nikiforov's spectral chromatic critical edge theorem imply that $T_{n,r}$ is the extremal graph with the maximum size and the maximum…
