In 2023, Gollin, Hendrey, Methuku, Tompkins and Zhang determined the maximum number of cliques in general 1-planar graphs with order $n$. Their extremal examples have connectivity at most three, except for a few small orders. At the…

For every $r \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\theta_r$ denote the graph with two vertices and $r$ parallel edges. The $\theta_r$-girth of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges of a subgraph of $G$ that can be contracted to $\theta_r$. This…

A clique in an undirected graph G= (V, E) is a subset V' V of vertices, each pair of which is connected by an edge in E. The clique problem is an optimization problem of finding a clique of maximum size in graph. The clique problem is…

This paper considers the following question: What is the maximum number of $k$-cliques in an $n$-vertex graph with no $K_t$-minor? This question generalises the extremal function for $K_t$-minors, which corresponds to the $k=2$ case. The…

As a variant of the celebrated Szemer\'edi--Trotter theorem, Guth and Katz proved that $m$ points and $n$ lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with at most $\sqrt{n}$ lines in a common plane must determine at most $O(m^{1/2}n^{3/4})$ incidences for…

We prove a minimum degree version of the Kruskal--Katona theorem: given $d\ge 1/4$ and a triple system $F$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $d\binom n2$, we obtain asymptotically tight lower bounds for the size of its shadow.…

Finding a reasonably good upper bound for the clique number of Paley graphs is an open problem in additive combinatorics. A recent breakthrough by Hanson and Petridis using Stepanov's method gives an improved upper bound on Paley graphs…

Here we prove that a graph without some three induced subgraphs has chromatic number at the most equal to its maximum clique size plus one. Further we show that the bounds are tight and give examples to show that each of the three forbidden…

We prove that Sherali-Adams with polynomially bounded coefficients requires proofs of size $n^{\Omega(d)}$ to rule out the existence of an $n^{\Theta(1)}$-clique in Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs whose maximum clique is of size $d\leq…

We study graphs whose chromatic number is close to the order of the graph (the number of vertices). Both when the chromatic number is a constant multiple of the order and when the difference of the chromatic number and the order is a small…

Given positive integers n and m, and a probability measure P on {0, 1, ..., m} the random intersection graph G(n,m,P) on vertex set V = {1,2, ..., n} and with attribute set W = {w_1, w_2, ..., w_m} is defined as follows. Let S_1, S_2, ...,…

With $\xi_{k}=\xi_{k}^{n,p}$ the number of copies of $K_k$ in the usual (Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi) random graph $G(n,p)$, $p\geq n^{-2/(k-1)}$ and $\eta>0$, we show when $k>1$ $$\Pr(\xi_k> (1+\eta)\E \xi_k) < \exp [-\gO_{\eta,k}…

Let $G$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices such that all but at most $\varepsilon \binom{n}{\ell}$ $\ell$-subsets of vertices have degree at least $p \binom{n-\ell}{r-\ell}$. We show that $G$ contains a large subgraph with high…

Recently, Ma, Qian and Shi determined the maximum size of an $n$-vertex graph with given fractional matching number $s$ and maximum degree at most $d$. Motivated by this result, we determine the maximum number of $\ell$-cliques in a graph…

We give lower bounds on the size and total size of clique partitions of a graph in terms of its spectral radius and minimum degree, and derive a spectral upper bound for the maximum number of edge-disjoint $t$-cliques. The extremal graphs…

For a given finite graph $G$ of minimum degree at least $k$, let $G_{p}$ be a random subgraph of $G$ obtained by taking each edge independently with probability $p$. We prove that (i) if $p \ge \omega/k$ for a function $\omega=\omega(k)$…

A graph $G$ is called $C_4$-free if it does not contain the cycle $C_4$ as an induced subgraph. Hubenko, Solymosi and the first author proved (answering a question of Erd\H os) a peculiar property of $C_4$-free graphs: $C_4$ graphs with $n$…

This paper shows that calculating $k$-CLIQUE on $n$ vertex graphs, requires the AND of at least $2^{n/4k}$ monotone, constant-depth, and polynomial-sized circuits, for sufficiently large values of $k$. The proof relies on a new, monotone,…

The clique removal lemma says that for every $r \geq 3$ and $\varepsilon>0$, there exists some $\delta>0$ so that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with fewer than $\delta n^r$ copies of $K_r$ can be made $K_r$-free by removing at most…

We prove for k at most 10, that every graph of chromatic number k with a unique k-coloring admits a clique minor of order k.
