Let $F$ be a graph. We say that a hypergraph $H$ contains an induced Berge $F$ if the vertices of $F$ can be embedded to $H$ (e.g., $V(F)\subseteq V(H)$) and there exists an injective mapping $f$ from the edges of $F$ to the hyperedges of…

We establish splitter theorems for graph immersions for two families of graphs, $k$-edge-connected graphs, with $k$ even, and 3-edge-connected, internally 4-edge-connected graphs. As a corollary, we prove that every $3$-edge-connected,…

We study the following question: how few edges can we delete from any $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices in order to make the resulting graph $k$-colorable? It turns out that various classical problems in extremal graph theory are special cases…

In this paper, we show that any maximal IC-plane graph of order $n$ has at least $\left\lceil\frac{7}{3}n-\frac{14}{3}\right\rceil$ edges, and any maximal NIC-plane graph of order $n$ has at least…

Let $P_k$ denote the path with $k$ vertices, and $\mathrm{ex}_{\mathcal{OP}}(n,H^{\mathrm{ind}},\emptyset)$ be the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex outerplanar graph. In this paper, we determine the exact value of…

An infinite family of graphs ${\cal F}$ is called feasible if for any pair of integers $(n,m)$, $n \geq 1$, $0 \leq m \leq \binom{n}{2}$, there is a member $G \in {\cal F}$ such that $G$ has $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. We prove that given a…

In this paper, we prove that any simple $\{C_3,C_5\}$-free non-empty connected graph $G$ with LLY curvature bounded below by $\kappa>0$ has the order at most $2^{\frac{2}{\kappa}}$. This upper bound is achieved if and only if $G$ is a…

A strong edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring in which every color class is an induced matching. The strong chromatic index $\chi_s'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors in a strong edge coloring of $G$. Let…

A graph $G$ is $H$-induced-saturated if $G$ is $H$-free but deleting any edge or adding any edge creates an induced copy of $H$. There are non-trivial graphs $H$, such as $P_4$, for which no finite $H$-induced-saturated graph $G$ exists. We…

In this paper we consider the problem of embedding almost-spanning, bounded degree graphs in a random graph. In particular, let $\Delta\geq 5$, $\varepsilon > 0$ and let $H$ be a graph on $(1-\varepsilon)n$ vertices and with maximum degree…

There is much recent interest in understanding the density at which constant size graphs can appear in a very large graph. Specifically, the inducibility of a graph H is its extremal density, as an induced subgraph of G, where |G| ->…

Let $r\geq 3$ be an integer and $G$ be a graph. Let $\delta(G), \Delta(G)$, $\alpha(G)$ and $\mu(G)$ denotes minimum degree, maximum degree, independence number and matching number of $G$, respectively. Recently, Caro, Davila and Pepper…

Let $\Lambda(T)$ denote the set of leaves in a tree $T$. One natural problem is to look for a spanning tree $T$ of a given graph $G$ such that $\Lambda(T)$ is as large as possible. This problem is called maximum leaf number, and it is a…

Let $S$ be a nonempty set of vertices of a connected graph $G$. A collection $T_1,..., T_\ell$ of trees in $G$ is said to be internally disjoint trees connecting $S$ if $E(T_i)\cap E(T_j)= \emptyset$ and $V(T_i)\cap V(T_j)=S$ for any pair…

While the problem of determining whether an embedding of a graph $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is {\it infinitesimally rigid} is well understood, specifying whether a given embedding of $G$ is {\it rigid} or not is still a hard task that usually…
