The famous List Colouring Conjecture from the 1970s states that for every graph $G$ the chromatic index of $G$ is equal to its list chromatic index. In 1996 in a seminal paper, Kahn proved that the List Colouring Conjecture holds…

We prove the well-known Brown-Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture for hypergraphs of large uniformity in the following form: any dense linear $r$-graph $G$ has $k$ edges spanning at most $(r-2)k+3$ vertices, provided the uniformity $r$ of $G$ is…

In 2010, Mkrtchyan, Petrosyan and Vardanyan proved that every graph $G$ with $2\leq \delta(G)\leq \Delta(G)\leq 3$ contains a maximum matching whose unsaturated vertices do not have a common neighbor, where $\Delta(G)$ and $\delta(G)$…

An $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner of an $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subgraph $H$ of $G$ satisfying that $dist(u, v, H) \leq \alpha \cdot dist(u, v, G)+\beta$ for every pair $(u, v)\in V \times V$, where $dist(u,v,G')$ denotes the distance…

Extremal problems on the $4$-cycle $C_4$ played a heuristic important role in the development of extremal graph theory. A fundamental theorem of F\"uredi states that the Tur\'an number $ex(q^2+q+1, C_4)\leq \frac12 q(q+1)^2$ holds for every…

Affirming a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Renyi we prove that for any (real number) c_1>0 for some c_2>0, if a graph G has no c_1(log n) nodes on which the graph is complete or edgeless (i.e. G exemplifies |G| not-> (c_1 log n)^2_2) then G…

The Tur\'{a}n number of a graph $H$, denoted $\mbox{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph with no subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Solymosi conjectured that if $H$ is any graph and $\mbox{ex}(n,H) = O(n^{\alpha})$…

The problem of packing Hamilton cycles in random and pseudorandom graphs has been studied extensively. In this paper, we look at the dual question of covering all edges of a graph by Hamilton cycles and prove that if a graph with maximum…

A conjecture of Verstra\"ete states that for any fixed $\ell < k$ there exists a positive constant $c$ such that any $C_{2k}$-free graph $G$ contains a $C_{2\ell}$-free subgraph with at least $c |E(G)|$ edges. For $\ell = 2$, this…

Erd\H{o}s and Gy\'arf\'as conjectured in 1994 that every graph with minimum degree at least 3 has a cycle of length a power of 2. In 2022, Gao and Shan (Graphs and Combinatorics) proved that the conjecture is true for $P_8$-free graphs,…

A central topic in extremal graph theory is the supersaturation problem, which studies the minimum number of copies of a fixed substructure that must appear in any graph with more edges than the corresponding Tur\'an number. Significant…

This paper considers two important questions in the well-studied theory of graphs that are $F$-saturated. A graph $G$ is called $F$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $F$, but the addition of any edge creates a copy…
