We say a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ contains a hypergraph $\mathcal{G}$ as trace if there exists a vertex subset $S \subseteq V(\mathcal{H})$ such that $|S| = |V(\mathcal{G})|$ and $\{e \cap S: e \in E(\mathcal{H})\}$ contains $\mathcal{G}$…

Let $I(F,n)$ denote the maximum number of induced copies of a graph $F$ in an $n$-vertex graph. The inducibility of $F$, defined as $i(F)=\lim_{n\to \infty} I(F,n)/\binom{n}{v(F)}$, is a central problem in extremal graph theory. In this…

The Tur\'{a}n problem asks for the largest number of edges ex$(n,H)$ in an $n$-vertex graph not containing a fixed forbidden subgraph $H$, which is one of the most important problems in extremal graph theory. However the order of magnitude…

For graphs $H$ and $F$, let $\text{ex}(n,H,F)$ be the maximum possible number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph on $n$ vertices. The study of this function, which generalizes the well-known Tur\'{a}n number of graphs, was systematically…

A classical object in hypergraph Tur\'{a}n theory is the Fano plane $\mathbb{F}$, the unique linear $3$-graph on seven vertices with seven edges. The Tur\'{a}n density and exact Tur\'{a}n number of $\mathbb{F}$, first proposed as a problem…

Given a fixed graph H, we say that a graph G is H-free if G does not contain H as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number ex(n, H) of H is the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex H-free graph. The study of Tur\'an number of graphs is a central…

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…

Given a graph $L$, the Tur\'an number $\textrm{ex}(n,L)$ is the maximum possible number of edges in an $n$-vertex $L$-free graph. The study of Tur\'an number of graphs is a central topic in extremal graph theory. Although the celebrated…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph is called an $r$-graph. A hypergraph is linear if every two edges intersect in at most one vertex. Given a linear $r$-graph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the linear Tur\'an number $ex_L(n,H)$ is the maximum…

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the {\it Tur\'an number} $\ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. A real number $r\in(1,2)$ is called a {\it Tur\'an exponent} if…

Let $H$ be a graph. We show that if $r$ is large enough as a function of $H$, then the $r$-partite Tur\'an graph maximizes the number of copies of $H$ among all $K_{r+1}$-free graphs on a given number of vertices. This confirms a conjecture…

For $s<r$, let $B_{r,s}$ be the graph consisting of two copies of $K_r$, which share exactly $s$ vertices. Denote by $ex(n, K_r, B_{r,s})$ the maximum number of copies of $K_r$ in a $B_{r,s}$-free graph on $n$ vertices. In 1976, Erd\H{o}s…

A $q$-graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a set of vectors of length $n$ with all entries from $\{0,1,\dots,q\}$ and every vector (that we call a $q$-edge) having exactly two non-zero entries. The support of a $q$-edge $\mathbf{x}$ is the pair…
