The extremal number of a graph $H$, denoted by $\mbox{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain $H$. The celebrated K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem says that for a complete bipartite graph…

This paper is motivated by the question of how global and dense restriction sets in results from extremal combinatorics can be replaced by less global and sparser ones. The result we consider here as an example is Turan's theorem, which…

A $\rho$-mean coloring of a graph is a coloring of the edges such that the average number of colors incident with each vertex is at most $\rho$. For a graph $H$ and for $\rho \geq 1$, the {\em mean Ramsey-Tur\'an number} $RT(n,H,\rho-mean)$…

For graphs $H$ and $F$, let $\text{ex}(n,H,F)$ be the maximum possible number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. The study of this function, which generalizes the well-known Tur\'{a}n number of graphs, was systematically…

A seminal result of Hajnal and Szemer\'{e}di states that if a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices has minimum degree $\delta(G) \ge (r-1)n/r$ for some integer $r \ge 2$, then $G$ contains a $K_r$-factor, assuming $r$ divides $n$. Extremal examples…

The generalized Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ is the largest number of copies of $H$ in $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs. We denote by $tF$ the vertex-disjoint union of $t$ copies of $F$. Gerbner, Methuku and Vizer in 2019 determined the…

We study Ramsey properties of randomly perturbed $3$-uniform hypergraphs. For~$t\geq 2$, write $\tilde K^{(3)}_t$ to denote the $3$-uniform {\it expanded} clique hypergraph obtained from the complete graph $K_t$ by expanding each of the…

In 1964, Erd\H{o}s, Hajnal and Moon introduced a saturation version of Tur\'an's classical theorem in extremal graph theory. In particular, they determined the minimum number of edges in a $K_r$-free, $n$-vertex graph with the property that…

Let $f(n)$ be a function and $L$ be a graph. Denote by $RT(n,L,f(n))$ the maximum number of edges of an $L$-free graph on $n$ vertices with independence number less than $f(n)$. Erd\H os and S\'os asked if $RT\left(n, K_5, c\sqrt{n}\right)…

For integers m >= 1, s >= 0, and t >= 1, let K_s + mK_t denote the join of a clique K_s and m vertex-disjoint copies of K_t. We prove that for fixed m >= 1, t >= 1, and s >= 0, R(K_s + mK_t, K_n) = O( n^{s+t-1} / (log n)^{s+t-2} ). This…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. According to Tur\'{a}n's theorem, if $G$ is $K_{r+1}$-free, then $m \leq |E(T(n, r))|,$ where $T(n, r)$ denotes the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices with a maximum clique of order…
