An $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph) is linear if any two edges intersect at most one vertex. For a graph $F$, a hypergraph $H$ is Berge-$F$ if there is a bijection $\phi:E(F)\rightarrow E(H)$ such that $e\subseteq \phi(e)$ for all $e$ in…

The Ramsey number $R(k)$ is the minimum $n \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every red-blue colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $K_k$. We prove that \[ R(k) \leqslant (4 -…

A triangle $T^{(r)}$ in an $r$-uniform hypergraph is a set of $r+1$ edges such that $r$ of them share a common $(r-1)$-set of vertices and the last edge contains the remaining vertex from each of the first $r$ edges. Our main result is that…

Let r be an integer, f(n) a function, and H a graph. Introduced by Erd\H{o}s, Hajnal, S\'{o}s, and Szemer\'edi, the r-Ramsey-Tur\'{a}n number of H, RT_r(n, H, f(n)), is defined to be the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex, H-free graph…

Gy\'arf\'as, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi proved that the $2$-color Ramsey number $R(\mathcal{C}^k_n,\mathcal{C}^k_n)$ of a $k$-uniform loose cycle $\mathcal{C}^k_n$ is asymptotically $\frac{1}{2}(2k-1)n,$ generating the same result for…

Motivated by Ramsey theory problems, we consider edge-colorings of 3-uniform hypergraphs that contain no rainbow paths of length 3. There are three 3-uniform paths of length 3: the tight path $\mathcal{T}=\{v_1v_2v_3, v_2v_3v_4,…

For each uniformity $k \geq 3$, we construct $k$-uniform linear hypergraphs $G$ with arbitrarily large maximum degree $\Delta$ whose independence polynomial $Z_G$ has a root $\lambda$ with $\lvert\lambda\rvert = O\left(\frac{\log…

We obtain some new upper bounds on the Ramsey numbers of the form $R(\underbrace{C_4,\ldots,C_4}_m,G_1,\ldots,G_n)$, where $m\ge 1$ and $G_1,\ldots,G_n$ are arbitrary graphs. We focus on the cases of $G_i$'s being complete, star $K_{1,k}$…

A linearly ordered (LO) $k$-colouring of an $r$-uniform hypergraph assigns an integer from $\{1, \ldots, k \}$ to every vertex so that, in every edge, the (multi)set of colours has a unique maximum. Equivalently, for $r=3$, if two vertices…

For graphs $H_1,H_2$ by $r^*(H_1,H_2)$ we denote the minimum number of edges in a graph $G$ on $r(H_1,H_2)$ vertices such that $G\to (H_1,H_2)$. We show that for each pair of natural numbers $k,n$, $k\le n$, where $k$ is odd and $n$ is…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph is $s$-almost intersecting if every edge is disjoint from exactly $s$ other edges. Gerbner, Lemons, Palmer, Patk\'os and Sz\'ecsi conjectured that for every $k$, and $s>s_0(k)$, every $k$-uniform $s$-almost…
