In 2012, Mader conjectured that for any tree $T$ of order $m$, every $k$-connected graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{3k}{2}\rfloor+m-1$ contains a subtree $T'\cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$ remains $k$-connected. In 2022,…

We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a sub\-graph. This generalises a well-known result of…

We prove that any $n$-vertex graph whose complement is triangle-free contains $n^2/12-o(n^2)$ edge-disjoint triangles. This is tight for the disjoint union of two cliques of order $n/2$. We also prove a corresponding stability theorem, that…

In this paper and a companion paper, we prove that, if $m$ is sufficiently large, every graph on $m+1$ vertices that has a universal vertex and minimum degree at least $\lfloor \frac{2m}{3} \rfloor$ contains each tree $T$ with $m$ edges as…

We show that for every $\eta>0$ every sufficiently large $n$-vertex oriented graph D of minimum semidegree exceeding $(1 + \eta) k/2$ contains every balanced antidirected tree with $k$ edges and bounded maximum degree, if $k \ge \eta n$. In…

The famous tree packing conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as from 1976 says that any sequence of trees $T_1,\ldots,T_n$ such that $|T_i|=i$ for each $i\in [n]$ packs into the complete $n$-vertex graph $K_n$. Packing even just the largest trees in such…

In this paper, we establish a couple of results on extremal problems in bipartite graphs. Firstly, we show that every sufficiently large bipartite graph with average degree $D$ and with $n$ vertices on each side has a balanced independent…

We characterize all partitions of the complete twisted graph $T_{2n}$ into plane spanning trees. In the case of partitions of $T_{2n}$ into isomorphic plane spanning trees, we show that all trees in these partitions must be balanced double…

We introduce a graph partitioning problem motivated by computational topology and propose two algorithms that produce approximate solutions. Specifically, given a weighted, undirected graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, we desire to find…

We prove that in every $2$-edge-colouring of $K_n$ there is a collection of $n^2/12 + o(n^2)$ edge-disjoint monochromatic triangles, thus confirming a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. We also prove a corresponding stability result, showing that…

Let $G(n,n,m)$ be a uniformly random $m$-edge subgraph of the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$ with bipartition $(V_1, V_2)$, where $n_i = |V_i|$. Given a real number $p \in [0,1]$ such that $d_1 := pn_2$ and $d_2 := pn_1$ are integers,…

The celebrated K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem states that any $n$-vertex graph containing no copy of the complete bipartite graph $K_{s,s}$ has at most $O_s(n^{2-1/s})$ edges. In the past two decades, motivated by the applications in…

We start a systematic investigation concerning bipartite Tur\'an number for trees. For a graph $F$ and integers $1 \leq a \leq b$ we define: $(i)$\quad $ex_b(a, b, F)$ is the largest number of edges that an $F$-free bipartite graph can have…

Let $K$ be a set of $k$ positive integers. A biclique cover of type $K$ of a graph $G$ is a collection of complete bipartite subgraphs of $G$ such that for every edge $e$ of $G$, the number of bicliques need to cover $e$ is a member of $K$.…

In Ramsey theory for graphs we are given a graph $G$ and we are required to find the least $n_0$ such that, for any $n\geq n_0$, any red/blue colouring of the edges of $K_n$ gives a subgraph $G$ all of whose edges are blue or all are red.…

An independent transversal in a multipartite graph is an independent set that intersects each part in exactly one vertex. We show that for every even integer $r\ge 2$, there exist $c_r>0$ and $n_0$ such that every $r$-partite graph with…

If a quantum walk starting on a vertex tends to stay at home, then that vertex is said to be sedentary. We prove that almost all planar graphs and almost all trees contain at least two sedentary vertices for any assignment of edge weights…

This is the second of a series of four papers in which we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos--Sos Conjecture: For every $\alpha>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at…

We prove that there exists $C>0$ such that any $(n+Ck)$-vertex tournament contains a copy of every $n$-vertex oriented tree with $k$ leaves, improving the previously best known bound of $n+O(k^2)$ vertices to give a result tight up to the…

We prove that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ defined by finitely many excluded induced subgraphs has bounded tree-$\alpha$ if and only if it is "$(\mathrm{tw},\omega)$-bounded" (that is, for all $t\in \mathbb N$, the class of all…
