We are given graphs $H_1,\dots,H_k$ and $F$. Consider an $F$-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices. What is the largest sum of the number of copies of $H_i$? The case $k=1$ has attracted a lot of attention. We also consider a colored variant,…

For integers $k, \ell \geq 3$, let $\mathrm{ex}(n, \overrightarrow{C_k}, \overrightarrow{C_\ell})$ denote the maximum number of directed cycles of length $k$ in any oriented graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain a directed cycle of…

In 1965, Motzkin and Straus [5] provided a new proof of Turan's theorem based on a continuous characterization of the clique number of a graph using the Lagrangian of a graph. This new proof aroused interests in the study of Lagrangians of…

In this note, we prove several Tur\'an-type results on geometric hypergraphs. The two main theorems are 1) Every $n$-vertex geometric 3-hypergraph in 2-space with no three strongly crossing edges has at most $O(n^2)$ edges, 2) Every…

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…

The Tur\'an number of an r-uniform hypergraph H is the maximum number of edges in any r-graph on n vertices which does not contain H as a subgraph. Let P_l^(r) denote the family of r-uniform loose paths on l edges, F(k,l) denote the family…

The classical Andr\'{a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s Theorem states that for $\ell\ge 2$, every $n$-vertex $K_{\ell+1}$-free graph with minimum degree greater than $\frac{3\ell-4}{3\ell-1}n$ must be $\ell$-partite. We establish a simple…

The hypergraph regularity lemma -- the extension of Szemer\'edi's graph regularity lemma to the setting of $k$-uniform hypergraphs -- is one of the most celebrated combinatorial results obtained in the past decade. By now there are several…

Fix a $k$-chromatic graph $F$. In this paper we consider the question to determine for which graphs $H$ does the Tur\'an graph $T_{k-1}(n)$ have the maximum number of copies of $H$ among all $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs (for $n$ large…

The Lagrangian density of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $F$ is $r!$ multiplying the supremum of the Lagrangians of all $F$-free $r$-uniform hypergraphs. For an $r$-graph $H$ with $t$ vertices, it is clear that $\pi_{\lambda}(H)\ge…

For a graph $H$, the {\em extremal number} $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ not containing a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $\delta(H)>0$ and $\Delta(H)$ denote the minimum degree and maximum degree of $H$,…

We introduce the following simpler variant of the Tur\'an problem: Given integers $n>k>r\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$, what is the smallest integer $t$ for which there exists an $r$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices, $t$ edges and $m$ connected…

Here we give a short, concise proof for the following result. There exists a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ (for $k\geq 5$) without exponent, i.e., when the Tur\'an function is not polynomial in $n$. More precisely, we have $ex(n,H)=o(n^{k-1})$…

The generalized Tur\'an number $\ex(n,K_s,F)$ denotes the maximum number of copies of $K_s$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. Let $kF$ denote $k$ disjoint copies of $F$. Gerbner, Methuku and Vizer [DM, 2019, 3130-3141] gave a lower bound for…

For fixed graphs $F$ and $H$, the generalized Tur\'an problem asks for the maximum number $ex(n,H,F)$ of copies of $H$ that an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph can have. In this paper, we focus on cases with $F$ being $B_{r,s}$, the graph…

In 1952, Dirac proved that every $2$-connected $n$-vertex graph with the minimum degree $k+1$ contains a cycle of length at least $\min\{n, 2(k+1)\}$. Here we obtain a stability version of this result by characterizing those graphs with…

Tur\'{a}n's theorem is a cornerstone of extremal graph theory. It asserts that for any integer $r \geq 2$ every graph on $n$ vertices with more than ${\tfrac{r-2}{2(r-1)}\cdot n^2}$ edges contains a clique of size $r$, i.e., $r$ mutually…
