Given a graph $F$, the $r$-expansion $F^{(r)+}$ of $F$ is the $r$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $F$ by inserting $r-2$ new distinct vertices in each edge of $F$. Recently, Alon and Frankl (JCTB, 2024) and Gerbner (JGT, 2023) studied the…

Given a graph $T$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, the generalized Tur\'an number of $\mathcal{F}$ is the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph on $n$ vertices, denoted by $ex(n,T,\mathcal{F})$. When $T = K_r$,…

The Tur\'an hypergraph problem asks to find the maximum number of $r$-edges in a $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a clique of size $a$. When $r=2$, i.e., for graphs, the answer is well-known and can be found in…

The problem of determining the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $H$-free graph, for any graphs $T$ and $H$, was considered by Alon and Shikhelman. This is a variant of Tur\'{a}n's classical extremal problem. We show lower and upper…

We study the generalized Ramsey--Tur\'an function $\mathrm{RT}(n,K_s,K_t,o(n))$, which is the maximum possible number of copies of $K_s$ in an $n$-vertex $K_t$-free graph with independence number $o(n)$. The case when $s=2$ was settled by…

Let $C^{2k}_r$ be the $2k$-uniform hypergraph obtained by letting $P_1,...,P_r$ be pairwise disjoint sets of size $k$ and taking as edges all sets $P_i \cup P_j$ with $i \neq j$. This can be thought of as the `$k$-expansion' of the complete…

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…

We analyze the number of cliques of given size and the size of the largest clique in tensor product $G \times H$ of two Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs $G$ and $H$. Then an extended clustering coefficient is introduced and is studied for $G \times…

An extremal graph for a graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum number of edges that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $T_{n,r}$ be the Tur\'{a}n graph, which is the complete $r$-partite graph on $n$ vertices…

Fix integers $n \ge r \ge 2$. A clique partition of ${[n] \choose r}$ is a collection of proper subsets $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_t \subset [n]$ such that $\bigcup_i{A_i \choose r}$ is a partition of ${[n] \choose r}$. Let $\cp(n,r)$ denote the…

Let \( \mathcal{F} \) be a family of graphs. The generalized Tur\'an number \( \operatorname{ex}(n, K_r, \mathcal{F}) \) is the maximum number of $K_r$ in an \( n \)-vertex graph that does not contain any member of \( \mathcal{F} \) as a…

In extremal graph theory, the problem of finding the elements of a given class of graphs which contain the most cliques traces its routes back to Tur\'an's famous theorem. We consider the implications of the connectivity property of…

We determine the maximum number of edges of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with the property that none of its $r$-cliques intersects a fixed set $M\subset V(G)$. For $(r-1)|M|\ge n$, the $(r-1)$-partite Turan graph turns out to be the unique…

We prove a generalised Ramsey--Tur\'an theorem for matchings, which (a) simultaneously generalises the Cockayne--Lorimer Theorem (Ramsey for matchings) and the Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem (Tur\'an for matchings), and (b) is a generalised…

A subset $Y$ of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ is called $t$-intersecting if $\operatorname{rk}(x-y)\le n-t$ for all $x,y\in Y$, or equivalently $x$ and $y$ agree pointwise on a $t$-dimensional subspace of…
