The aim of this work is to investigate the nonnegative signed domination number $\gamma^{NN}_s$ with emphasis on regular, ($r+1$)-clique-free graphs and trees. We give lower and upper bounds on $\gamma^{NN}_s$ for regular graphs and prove…

A book graph $B_{r+1}$ is a set of $r+1$ triangles with a common edge, where $r\geq0$ is an integer. Zhai and Lin [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023) 502-520] proved that for $n\geq\frac{13}{2}r$, if $G$ is a $B_{r+1}$-free graph of order $n$, then…

Let $K_{s,t}^{(r)}$ denote the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from the graph $K_{s,t}$ by inserting $r-2$ new vertices inside each edge of $K_{s,t}$. We prove essentially tight bounds on the size of a largest $K_{s,t}^{(r)}$-subgraph of…

The spectral Tur\'an number $\spex(n, F)$ denotes the maximum spectral radius $\rho(G)$ of an $F$-free graph $G$ of order $n$. This paper determines $\spex\left(n, C_{2k+1}^{\square}\right)$ for all sufficiently large $n$, establishing the…

As a variant of the famous Tur\'an problem, we study $\mathrm{rex}(n,F)$, the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex regular graph can have without containing a copy of $F$. We determine $\mathrm{rex}(n,K_{r+1})$ for all pairs of…

We examine the Maximum Independent Set Problem in an undirected graph. The main result is that this problem can be considered as the solving the same problem in a subclass of the weighted normal twin-orthogonal graphs. The problem is…

Let $S_k(n)$ be the maximum number of orientations of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ in which no copy of $K_k$ is strongly connected. For all integers $n$, $k\geq 4$ where $n\geq 5$ or $k\geq 5$, we prove that $S_k(n) = 2^{t_{k-1}(n)}$, where…

In this paper, we determine the graphs with maximum value of the sum number from $k$-clique spectral radius to $(2r-1)$-clique spectral radius among all $2K_{r}$-free graphs on $n$ vertices for $ r\le k$ and large $n$. We also determine the…

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…

For $r \geq 2$, we show that every maximal $K_{r+1}$-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $(1-\frac{1}{r})\frac{n^2}{2}-o(n^{\frac{r+1}{r}})$ edges contains a complete $r$-partite subgraph on $(1 - o(1))n$ vertices. We also show that this is…

For two graphs $J$ and $H$, the generalized Tur\'{a}n number, denoted by $ex(n,J,H)$, is the maximum number of copies of $J$ in an $H$-free graph of order $n$. A linear forest $F$ is the disjoint union of paths. In this paper, we determine…

The Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize the number of edges over all graphs which do not contain fixed subgraphs. Similarly, the spectral Tur\'an type extremal problem asks to maximize spectral radius of all graphs which do not…

An important theorem about the spectral Tur\'an problem of $K_{a,b}$ was largely developed in separate papers. Recently it was completely resolved by Zhai and Lin [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. B 157 (2022) 184-215], which also confirms a…

A signed graph has edge weights drawn from the set $\{+1,-1\}$, and is termed sign-balanced if it is equivalent to an unsigned graph under the operation of sign switching; otherwise it is called sign-unbalanced. A nut graph has a one…
