We consider problems of finding a maximum size/weight $t$-matching without forbidden subgraphs in an undirected graph $G$ with the maximum degree bounded by $t+1$, where $t$ is an integer greater than $2$. Depending on the variant forbidden…
Let $H$ be a complete $r$-uniform hypergraph such that two vertices are marked in each edge as its `boundary' vertices. A linear ordering of the vertex set of $H$ is called an {\em agreeing linear order}, provided all vertices of each edge…
Let $\mathrm{pm}(G)$ denote the number of perfect matchings of a graph $G$, and let $K_{r\times 2n/r}$ denote the complete $r$-partite graph where each part has size $2n/r$. Johnson, Kayll, and Palmer conjectured that for any perfect…
A celebrated theorem of Pippenger states that any almost regular hypergraph with small codegrees has an almost perfect matching. We show that one can find such an almost perfect matching which is `pseudorandom', meaning that, for instance,…
We consider the problem of clique coloring, that is, coloring the vertices of a given graph such that no (maximal) clique of size at least two is monocolored. It is known that interval graphs are $2$-clique colorable. In this paper we prove…
A matrix is homogeneous if all of its entries are equal. Let $P$ be a $2\times 2$ zero-one matrix that is not homogeneous. We prove that if an $n\times n$ zero-one matrix $A$ does not contain $P$ as a submatrix, then $A$ has an $cn\times…
For $k\ge 3$ and $\epsilon>0$, let $H$ be a $k$-partite $k$-graph with parts $V_1,\dots, V_k$ each of size $n$, where $n$ is sufficiently large. Assume that for each $i\in [k]$, every $(k-1)$-set in $\prod_{j\in [k]\setminus \{i\}} V_i$…
In 2022, Holmsen showed that any graph with at least \( c \binom{n}{r} \) \(r\)-cliques but no induced complete $r$-partite graph $K_{2,\ldots, 2}$ must contain a clique of order \(\Omega(c^{2^{r-1}} n)\). In this paper, we study graphs…
We show that given a SM instance G as input we can find a largest collection of pairwise edge-disjoint stable matchings of G in time linear in the input size. This extends two classical results: 1. The Gale-Shapley algorithm, which can find…
An edge-colouring of a graph $G$ is said to be colour-balanced if there are equally many edges of each available colour. We are interested in finding a colour-balanced perfect matching within a colour-balanced clique $K_{2nk}$ with a…
We consider a matching problem in a bipartite graph $G$ where every vertex has a capacity and a strict preference order on its neighbors. Furthermore, there is a cost function on the edge set. We assume $G$ admits a perfect matching, i.e.,…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of $n=2m+1$ points in the plane in general position. We define the graph $GM_\mathcal{P}$ whose vertex set is the set of all plane matchings on $\mathcal{P}$ with exactly $m$ edges. Two vertices in…
Let H be an r-partite r-graph, all of whose sides have the same size n. Suppose that there exist two sides of H, each satisfying the following condition: the degree of each legal (r-1)-tuple contained in the complement of this side is…
A matching is said to be disconnected if the saturated vertices induce a disconnected subgraph and induced if the saturated vertices induce a 1-regular graph. The disconnected and induced matching numbers are defined as the maximum…
A matching of a graph is a subset of edges no two of which share a common vertex, and a maximum matching is a matching of maximum cardinality. In a $b$-matching every vertex $v$ has an associated bound $b_v$, and a maximum $b$-matching is a…
A balanced pattern of order $2d$ is an element $P \in \{+,-\}^{2d}$, where both signs appear $d$ times. Two sets $A,B \subset [n]$ form $P$-pattern, which we denote by $\operatorname{pat}(A,B) = P$, if $A\triangle B = \{j_1,\ldots…
An ordered graph is a simple graph with an ordering on its vertices. Define the ordered path $P_n$ to be the monotone increasing path with $n$ edges. The ordered size Ramsey number $\tilde{r}(P_r,P_s)$ is the minimum number $m$ for which…
We study the {\sc Clique} problem in classes of intersection graphs of convex sets in the plane. The problem is known to be NP-complete in convex-set intersection graphs and straight-line-segment intersection graphs, but solvable in…
We investigate the number of maximal cliques, i.e., cliques that are not contained in any larger clique, in three network models: Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs, inhomogeneous random graphs (also called Chung-Lu graphs), and geometric…
We consider the locus of $r$-tuples of homogeneous forms of some fixed degree whose common vanishing locus in $\mathbb{P}^r$ is positive dimensional. We show that any component of maximal dimension of that locus either consists of…
