Fix $k \geq 3$, and let $G$ be a $k$-uniform hypergraph with maximum degree $\Delta$. Suppose that for each $l = 2, ..., k-1$, every set of l vertices of G is in at most $\Delta^{(k-l)/(k-1)}/f$ edges. Then the chromatic number of $G$ is…

For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$ let $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ be the maximum number of edges of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $H$ which contains no copy of $F$. Determining or estimating $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ is a classical and central problem…

For a graph $H$, let $m(H,k)$ denote the number of vertices of degree $k$ in $H$. A conjecture of Alon and Wei states that for any $d\geq 3$, every $n$-vertex $d$-regular graph contains a spanning subgraph $H$ satisfying…

We study hypergraph discrepancy in two closely related random models of hypergraphs on $n$ vertices and $m$ hyperedges. The first model, $\mathcal{H}_1$, is when every vertex is present in exactly $t$ randomly chosen hyperedges. The premise…

It is proved that for integers $b, r$ such that $3 \leq b < r \leq \binom{b+1}{2} - 1$, there exists a red/blue edge-colored graph such that the red degree of every vertex is $r$, the blue degree of every vertex is $b$, yet in the closed…

Stein's method is used to obtain two theorems on multivariate normal approximation. Our main theorem, Theorem 1.2, provides a bound on the distance to normality for any nonnegative random vector. Theorem 1.2 requires multivariate size bias…

Given a fixed $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$, the $F$-removal lemma states that every hypergraph with few copies of $F$ can be made $F$-free by the removal of few edges. Unfortunately, for general $F$, the constants involved are given by…

A two-coloring of the vertices $V$ of the hypergraph $H=(V, E)$ by red and blue has discrepancy $d$ if $d$ is the largest difference between the number of red and blue points in any edge. Let $f(n)$ be the fewest number of edges in an…

Let $\mathcal{G}(k)$ denote the set of connected $k$-regular graphs $G$, $k\geq2$, where the number of vertices at distance 2 from any vertex in $G$ does not exceed $k$. Asratian (2006) showed (using other terminology) that a graph…

A new tur\'an-type problem on distances on graphs was introduced by Tyomkyn and Uzzell. In this paper, we focus on the case that the distance is two. We primely show that for any value of $n$, a graph on $n$ vertices without three vertices…

A $k$-proper edge-coloring of a graph G is called adjacent vertex-distinguishing if any two adjacent vertices are distinguished by the set of colors appearing in the edges incident to each vertex. The smallest value $k$ for which $G$ admits…

For an undirected graph G=(V,E), a vertex x \in V separates vertices u and v (where u,v \in V, u \neq v) if their distances to x are not equal. Given an integer parameter k \geq 1, a set of vertices L \subseteq V is a feasible solution if…

A Hamiltonian graph $G$ of order $n$ is $k$-ordered, $2\leq k \leq n$, if for every sequence $v_1, v_2, \ldots ,v_k$ of $k$ distinct vertices of $G$, there exists a Hamiltonian cycle that encounters $v_1, v_2, \ldots , v_k$ in this order.…

Consider a graph obtained by taking edge disjoint union of $k$ complete bipartite graphs. Alon, Saks and Seymour conjectured that such graph has chromatic number at most $k+1$. This well known conjecture remained open for almost twenty…

In Hazra, den Hollander and Parvaneh (2025) we analysed the friendship paradox for sparse random graphs. For four classes of random graphs we characterised the empirical distribution of the friendship biases between vertices and their…

We consider the problem of computing a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximation of the Hamming distance between a pattern of length $n$ and successive substrings of a stream. We first look at the one-way randomised communication complexity of this…

We provide a degree condition on a regular $n$-vertex graph $G$ which ensures the existence of a near optimal packing of any family $\mathcal H$ of bounded degree $n$-vertex $k$-chromatic separable graphs into $G$. In general, this degree…

Combining ideas of Pham, Sah, Sawhney, and Simkin on spread perfect matchings in super-regular bipartite graphs with an algorithmic blow-up lemma, we prove a spread version of the blow-up lemma. Intuitively, this means that there exists a…

We consider the coloring of certain distance graphs on the Euclidean plane. Namely, we ask for the minimal number of colors needed to color all points of the plane in such a way that pairs of points at distance in the interval $[1,b]$ get…

Let $A$ and $B$ be sets of vertices in a graph $G$. Menger's theorem states that for every positive integer $k$, either there exists a collection of $k$ vertex-disjoint paths between $A$ and $B$, or $A$ can be separated from $B$ by a set of…
