An $r$-graph $H$ is a hypergraph consisting of a nonempty set of vertices $V$ and a collection of $r$-element subsets of $V$ we refer to as the edges of $H$. An $r$-graph $H$ is called linear if any two edges of $H$ intersect in at most one…

We expand Conlon's random algebraic construction to show that for any odd number $k \geq 3$ exists a natural number $c_k$ (the same as Conlon's) such that $\operatorname{ex}(n^a,n,\theta_{k,c_k}) = \Omega_{k,a}((n^{1 + a})^{\frac{k +…

One of the central topics in extremal graph theory is the study of the function $ex(n,H)$, which represents the maximum number of edges a graph with $n$ vertices can have while avoiding a fixed graph $H$ as a subgraph. Tur{\'a}n provided a…

For a graph $H$ let $c(H)$ denote the supremum of $|E(G)|/|V(G)|$ taken over all non-null graphs $G$ not containing $H$ as a minor. We show that $$c(H) \leq \frac{|V(H)|+\mathrm{comp}(H)}{2}-1,$$ when $H$ is a union of cycles, verifying…

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 $H$,…

For fixed integers $r\ge 3,e\ge 3,v\ge r+1$, an $r$-uniform hypergraph is called $\mathscr{G}_r(v,e)$-free if the union of any $e$ distinct edges contains at least $v+1$ vertices. Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'{o}s showed that the maximum number…

We prove lower bounds for the fraction of edges of an $r$-graph which can be covered by the union of $k$ 1-factors. The special case $r=3$ yields some known results for cubic graphs. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of…

Given a family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say that a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-free if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{H}$. Let $S_{t,t,t}$ be the graph obtained from $K_{1,3}$ by subdividing each edge…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph has $(q,p)$-property if any set of $q$ vertices spans a complete sub-hypergraph on $p$ vertices. Let $t_r(n,q,p)$ be the minimum edge density of an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph with {\em $(q,p)$-property} and…

For a graph $H$, let $$c_{\infty}(H)= \lim_{n \to \infty}\max\frac{|E(G)|}{n},$$ where the maximum is taken over all graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices not containing $H$ as a minor. Thus $c_{\infty}(H)$ is the asymptotic maximum density of graphs…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s from 1967 asserts that any graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain a fixed $r$-degenerate bipartite graph $F$ has at most $Cn^{2-1/r}$ edges, where $C$ is a constant depending only on $F$. We show that this…

The classical Simonovits' chromatic critical edge theorem shows that for sufficiently large $n$, if $H$ is an edge-color-critical graph with $\chi(H)=p+1\ge 3$, then the Tur\'an graph $T_{n,p}$ is the unique extremal graph with respect to…

An $r$-regular graph is an $r$-graph, if every odd set of vertices is connected to its complement by at least $r$ edges. Seymour [On multicolourings of cubic graphs, and conjectures of Fulkerson and Tutte.~\emph{Proc.~London…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a family of edge-colored graphs. A $t$-edge colored graph $G$ is $(\mathcal{C}, t)$-saturated if $G$ does not contain any graph in $\mathcal{C}$ but the addition of any edge in any color in $[t]$ creates a copy of some…

In a recent work on the bipartite Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graph, Do et al. (2023) established upper bounds on the number of connected labeled bipartite graphs with a fixed surplus. We use some recent encodings of bipartite random graphs in…

One of the major problems in combinatorics is to determine the number of $r$-uniform hypergraphs ($r$-graphs) on $n$ vertices which are free of certain forbidden structures. This problem dates back to the work of Erd\H{o}s, Kleitman and…

The $r$-uniform expansion $F^{(r)+}$ of a graph $F$ is obtained by enlarging each edge with $r-2$ new vertices such that altogether we use $(r-2)|E(F)|$ new vertices. Two simple lower bounds on the largest number $\mathrm{ex}_r(n,F^{(r)+})$…

Let $F$ be an $(r+1)$-color critical graph with $r\geq 2$, that is, $\chi(F)=r+1$ and there is an edge $e$ in $F$ such that $\chi(F-e)=r$. Gerbner recently conjectured that every $n$-vertex maximal $F$-free graph with at least…

For $t \in [-1, 1)$, a set of points on the $(n-1)$-dimensional unit sphere is called $t$-almost equiangular if among any three distinct points there is a pair with inner product $t$. We propose a semidefinite programming upper bound for…

Call a colouring of a graph \emph{distinguishing} if the only automorphism of this graph which preserves said colouring is the identity. Let $H$ be an arbitrary graph. We say that a graph $G$ is \emph{$H$-free} if $G$ does not contain an…
