For a positive integer $n$, a graph $F$ and a bipartite graph $G\subseteq K_{n,n}$ let ${F(n+n, G)}$ denote the number of copies of $F$ in $G$, and let $F(n+n, m)$ denote the minimum number of copies of $F$ in all graphs $G\subseteq…

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…

The Tur\'an number of a graph $F$, $ex(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain $F$ as a subgraph. Let $S_{a,b}$ denote a double star with a central edge $uv$, $a$ leaves connected to $u$ and…

The fundamental theorem of Tur\'{a}n from Extremal Graph Theory determines the exact bound on the number of edges $t_r(n)$ in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain a clique of size $r+1$. We establish an interesting link between…

We show tight necessary and sufficient conditions on the sizes of small bipartite graphs whose union is a larger bipartite graph that has no large bipartite independent set. Our main result is a common generalization of two classical…

The well-known Tur\'{a}n theorem states that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex $K_{r+1}$-free graph, then $e(G)\le e(T_{n,r})$, with equality if and only if $G$ is the $r$-partite Tur\'{a}n graph $T_{n,r}$. A graph $F$ is called color-critical if it…

Given a graph $H$, the Tur\'{a}n number ${\rm ex}(n,H)$ of $H$ is the maximum number of edges of an $n$-vertex simple graph containing no $H$ as a subgraph. Let $kK_p$ denote the disjoint union of $k$ copies of the complete graph $K_p$. In…

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the {\it Tur\'an number} $\ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. A real number $r\in(1,2)$ is called a {\it Tur\'an exponent} if…

For two $s$-uniform hypergraphs $H$ and $F$, the Tur\'{a}n number $ex_s(H,F)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of $H$. Let $s, r, k, n_1, \ldots, n_r$ be integers satisfying $2\leq s\leq r$ and $n_1\leq n_2\leq…

In this paper extremal problems for uniform hypergraphs are studied in the general setting of hereditary properties. It turns out that extremal problems about edges are particular cases of a general analyic problem about a recently…

For given graphs $G$ and $F$, the Tur\'an number $ex(G,F)$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of $G$. Foucaud, Krivelevich and Perarnau and later independently Briggs and Cox introduced a dual version of…

The $r$-expansion $G^+$ of a graph $G$ is the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $G$ by enlarging each edge of $G$ with a vertex subset of size $r-2$ disjoint from $V(G)$ such that distinct edges are enlarged by disjoint subsets. Let…
