The $3$-uniform tight $\ell$-cycle minus one edge $C_{\ell}^{3-}$ is the $3$-graph on $\ell$ vertices consisting of $\ell-1$ consecutive triples in the cyclic order. We show that for every integer $\ell \ge 5$ satisfying $\ell\not\equiv…

Tur\'an's famous tetrahedron problem is to compute the Tur\'an density of the tetrahedron $K_4^3$. This is equivalent to determining the maximum $\ell_1$-norm of the codegree vector of a $K_4^3$-free $n$-vertex $3$-uniform hypergraph. We…

By the theorem of Mantel $[5]$ it is known that a graph with $n$ vertices and $\lfloor \frac{n^{2}}{4} \rfloor+1$ edges must contain a triangle. A theorem of Erd\H{o}s gives a strengthening: there are not only one, but at least…

The fundamental theorem of Tur\'{a}n from Extremal Graph Theory determines the exact bound on the number of edges $t_r(n)$ in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain a clique of size $r+1$. We establish an interesting link between…

One of the earliest results in extremal graph theory, Mantel's theorem, states that the maximum number of edges in a triangle-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor$. We investigate how this extremal bound is affected when…

The celebrated Mantel's theorem states that any triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices contains at most $\left\lfloor n^2/4\right\rfloor$ edges. It is natural to ask how many triangles must exist in a graph with more than $\left\lfloor…

A graph $G=(V(G), E(G))$ is supereulerian if it has a spanning Eulerian subgraph. Let $\ell(G)$ be the maximum number of edges of spanning Eulerian subgraphs of a supereulerian graph $G$. In $1996$, Catlin conjectured that if $G$ is a…

We propose a strengthening of the conclusion in Tur\'an's (3,4)-conjecture in terms of algebraic shifting, and show that its analogue for graphs does hold. In another direction, we generalize the Mantel-Tur\'an theorem by weakening its…

Sidorenko's conjecture states that, for all bipartite graphs $H$, quasirandom graphs contain asymptotically the minimum number of copies of $H$ taken over all graphs with the same order and edge density. While still open for graphs, the…

A graph is diameter two edge-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in a diameter two edge-critical graph on $n$ vertices is at most $\lfloor…

Given a graph $H$, the Tur\'an number $ex(n,H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. We make progress on a recent conjecture of Conlon, Janzer, and Lee on the Tur\'an numbers of bipartite graphs, which in…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s from 1967 asserts that any graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain a fixed $r$-degenerate bipartite graph $F$ has at most $Cn^{2-1/r}$ edges, where $C$ is a constant depending only on $F$. We show that this…

Given graphs $T$ and $H$, the generalized Tur\'an number ex$(n,T,H)$ is the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $n$-vertex graph with no copies of $H$. Alon and Shikhelman, using a result of Erd\H os, determined the asymptotics of…

Let $\cal H$ be a family of graphs. The Tur\'an number ${\rm ex}(n,{\cal H})$ is the maximum possible number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph which does not contain any member of $\cal H$ as a subgraph. As a common generalization of…

Mantel's theorem says that among all triangle-free graphs of a given order the balanced complete bipartite graph is the unique graph of maximum size. We prove an analogue of this result for 3-graphs. Let $K_4^-=\{123,124,134\}$,…

The extremal number of a graph $H$, denoted by $\mbox{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices that does not contain $H$. The celebrated K\H{o}v\'ari-S\'os-Tur\'an theorem says that for a complete bipartite graph…

We study the Tur\'{a}n problem for highly symmetric bipartite graphs arising from geometric shapes and periodic tilings commonly found in nature. 1. The prism $C_{2\ell}^{\square}:=C_{2\ell}\square K_{2}$ is the graph consisting of two…

Let the crown $C_{13}$ be the linear $3$-graph on $9$ vertices $\{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i\}$ with edges $$E = \{\{a,b,c\}, \{a, d,e\}, \{b, f, g\}, \{c, h,i\}\}.$$ Proving a conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as et. al., we show that for any crown-free…

In 1975, Erd\H{o}s asked for the maximum number of edges that an $n$-vertex graph can have if it does not contain two edge-disjoint cycles on the same vertex set. It is known that Tur\'an-type results can be used to prove an upper bound of…

We prove a vertex domination conjecture of Erd\H os, Faudree, Gould, Gy\'arf\'as, Rousseau, and Schelp, that for every n-vertex complete graph with edges coloured using three colours there exists a set of at most three vertices which have…
