The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…

Let $f(n, v, e)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices which does not contain $v$ vertices spanning at least $e$ edges. A central problem in extremal combinatorics, famously posed by Brown, Erd\H{o}s…

Loebl, Koml\'os, and S\'os conjectured that any graph with at least half of its vertices of degree at least k contains every tree with at most k edges. We propose a version of this conjecture for skewed trees, i.e., we consider the class of…

Let $H$ and $F$ be hypergraphs. We say $H$ contains $F$ as a trace if there exists some set $S \subseteq V(H)$ such that $H|_S:=\{E\cap S: E \in E(H)\}$ contains a subhypergraph isomorphic to $F$. In this paper we give an upper bound on the…

For a $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$ let $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ be the maximum number of edges of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $H$ which contains no copy of $F$. Determining or estimating $\textrm{ex}(n,F)$ is a classical and central problem…

For ordinary graphs it is known that any graph $G$ with more edges than the Tur{\'a}n number of $K_s$ must contain several copies of $K_s$, and a copy of $K_{s+1}^-$, the complete graph on $s+1$ vertices with one missing edge. Erd\H{o}s…

Let $f^{(r)}(n;s,k)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $r$-graph on $n$ vertices in which every $k$ edges span more than $s$ vertices. Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'{o}s in 1973 conjectured that for every $k\geq 2$, the limit…

Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres's quantitative version of Ramsey's theorem asserts that any complete graph on n vertices that is edge-colored with two colors has a monochromatic clique on at least 1/2log(n) vertices. The famous Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal…

Let H be a 3-uniform hypergraph of order n with clique number k such that the intersection of all maximum cliques of H is empty. For fixed m=n-k, Szemer\'edi and Petruska conjectured the sharp bound $n\leq {m+2\choose 2}$. In this note the…

We prove that every 3-coloring of the edges of the complete graph on n vertices without a rainbow triangle contains a set of order Omega(n^{1/3}log^2 n) which uses at most two colors, and this bound is tight up to a constant factor. This…

We show that any n-vertex complete graph with edges colored with three colors contains a set of at most four vertices such that the number of the neighbors of these vertices in one of the colors is at least 2n/3. The previous best value,…

For a hypergraph $H$, define its intersection spectrum $I(H)$ as the set of all intersection sizes $|E\cap F|$ of distinct edges $E,F\in E(H)$. In their seminal paper from 1973 which introduced the local lemma, Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz asked:…

The first open case of the Brown, Erd\H{o}s, S\'os conjecture is equivalent to the following; For every $c>0$ there is a threshold $n_0$ so that if a quasigroup has order $n\geq n_0$ then for every subset of triples of the form $(a,b,ab),$…
