In 1986, Brualdi and Solheid firstly proposed the problem of determining the maximum spectral radius of graphs in the set $\mathcal{H}_{n,m}$ consisting of all simple connected graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, which is a very tough…

We study $\tau$-Bounded-Density Edge Deletion ($\tau$-BDED), where given an undirected graph $G$, the task is to remove as few edges as possible to obtain a graph $G'$ where no subgraph of $G'$ has density more than $\tau$. The density of a…

For any $\epsilon > 0$, we show that if $G$ is a regular graph on $n \gg_\epsilon 1$ vertices that is $\epsilon$-far (differs by at least $\epsilon n^2$ edges) from any Tur\'{a}n graph, then its second eigenvalue $\lambda_2$ satisfies…

A stability result due to Ren, Wang, Wang and Yang [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 38 (2024)] shows that if $3\le r \le 2k$ and $n\ge 318 (r-2)^2k$, and $G$ is a $C_{2k+1}$-free graph on $n$ vertices with $e(G)\ge \lfloor {(n-r+1)^2}/{4}\rfloor +{r…

For a given graph $F$, a graph $G$ is said to be $F$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of $F$ but for any edge $uv\notin E(G)$, $G+uv$ contains a copy of $F$. The saturation number $sat(n,F)$ is defined as the minimum number of edges among…

For any graph $G$ of order $n$ with degree sequence $d_{1}\geq\cdots\geq d_{n}$, we define the double Slater number $s\ell_{\times2}(G)$ as the smallest integer $t$ such that $t+d_{1}+\cdots+d_{t-e}\geq2n-p$ in which $e$ and $p$ are the…

One of the central topics in extremal graph theory is the study of the function $ex(n,H)$, which represents the maximum number of edges a graph with $n$ vertices can have while avoiding a fixed graph $H$ as a subgraph. Tur{\'a}n provided a…

Let $F$ be a graph, $k \geq 2$ be an integer, and write $\mathrm{ex}_{ \chi \leq k } (n , F)$ for the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that is $k$-partite and has no subgraph isomorphic to $F$. The function $\mathrm{ex}_{ \chi…

We investigate a covering problem in $3$-uniform hypergraphs ($3$-graphs): given a $3$-graph $F$, what is $c_1(n,F)$, the least integer $d$ such that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex $3$-graph with minimum vertex degree $\delta_1(G)>d$ then every…

For a graph $H$, the {\em extremal number} $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ not containing a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $\delta(H)>0$ and $\Delta(H)$ denote the minimum degree and maximum degree of $H$,…

Given a graph $G$, a Berge copy of $G$ is a hypergraph obtained by enlarging the edges arbitrarily. Gy\H ori in 2006 showed that for $r=3$ or $r=4$, an $r$-uniform $n$-vertex Berge triangle-free hypergraph has at most $\lfloor…

Given a graph $G$, we say a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on the same vertex set contains a Berge-$G$ if there exists an injection $\phi:E(G)\to E(H)$ such that $e\subseteq\phi(e)$ for each edge $e\in E(G)$. A hypergraph $H$ is…

We consider the problem of estimating the edge density of densest $K$-node subgraphs of an Erd\"os-R\'{e}nyi graph $\mathbb{G}(n,1/2)$. The problem is well-understood in the regime $K=\Theta(\log n)$ and in the regime $K=\Theta(n)$. In the…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $r$-graphs. An $r$-graph $G$ is called $\mathcal{F}$-saturated if it does not contain any members of $\mathcal{F}$ but adding any edge creates a copy of some $r$-graph in $\mathcal{F}$. The saturation number…

An $n$-vertex graph $G$ is weakly $F$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of $F$ and there exists an ordering of all edges in $E(K_n) \setminus E(G)$ such that, when added one at a time, each edge creates a new copy of $F$. The minimum size…
