The Tur\'an hypergraph problem asks to find the maximum number of $r$-edges in a $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a clique of size $a$. When $r=2$, i.e., for graphs, the answer is well-known and can be found in…

The classical spectral Tur\'{a}n problem is to determine the maximum spectral radius of an $\mathcal{F}$-free graph of order $n$. Zhai and Wang [Linear Algebra Appl, 437 (2012) 1641-1647] determined the maximum spectral radius of…

We study a Tur\'an-type problem on edge-colored complete graphs. We show that for any $r$ and $t$, any sufficiently large $r$-edge-colored complete graph on $n$ vertices with $\Omega(n^{2-1/tr^r})$ edges in each color contains a member from…

Generalized Tur\'an problems have been a central topic of study in extremal combinatorics throughout the last few decades. One such problem, maximizing the number of cliques of a fixed order in a graph with fixed number of vertices and…

We prove asymptotically optimal bounds on the number of edges a graph $G$ must have in order that any $r$-colouring of $E(G)$ has a colour class which contains every $D$-degenerate graph on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree. We also…

Polynomial algorithms are given for the following two problems: given a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, where $m \ge 3 n^{3/2}$, find a complete balanced bipartite subgraph with parts about $\ln n/(\ln (n^2/m))$, given a graph with…

Let $\mathscr{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph $G$ is $\mathscr{F}$-free if $G$ does not contain any $F\in \mathscr{F}$ as a subgraph. The Tur\'an number, denoted by $ex(n, \mathscr{F})$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex…

For a graph $F$, we say that another graph $G$ is $F$-saturated, if $G$ is $F$-free and adding any edge to $G$ would create a copy of $F$. We study for a given graph $F$ and integer $n$ whether there exists a regular $n$-vertex…

Fix graphs $F$ and $H$. Let $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ denote the maximum number of copies of a graph $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. In this note we will give a new general supersaturation result for $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ in the case when…

We discuss a variant of the Ramsey and the directed Ramsey problem. First, consider a complete graph on $n$ vertices and a two-coloring of the edges such that every edge is colored with at least one color and the number of bicolored edges…

We address a problem which is a generalization of Tur\'an-type problems recently introduced by Imolay, Karl, Nagy and V\'ali. Let $F$ be a fixed graph and let $G$ be the union of $k$ edge-disjoint copies of $F$, namely $G =…

A cograph is a graph that contains no induced path $P_4$ on four vertices or equivalently a graph that can be constructed from vertices by sum and product operations. We study the bipartite Tur\'an problem restricted to cographs: for fixed…

Given a family ${\cal F}$ of graphs, and a positive integer $n$, the Tur\'an number $ex(n,{\cal F})$ of ${\cal F}$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not contain any member of ${\cal F}$ as a subgraph. The order…

Given a graph $H,$ we say that a graph is \textit{$H$-free} if it 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 set of all the corresponding…

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…

A graph $G$ is $F$-saturated if $G$ is $F$-free but for any edge $e$ in the complement of $G$ the graph $G + e$ contains $F$. Gerbner et al. (Discrete Math., 345 (2022), 112921) initiated the study of $rsat(n,F)$, the minimum number of…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$ with $\chi(H)<\chi(F)$, we say that $H$ is weakly $F$-Tur\'an-good if among $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs, a $(\chi(F)-1)$-partite graph contains the most copies of $H$. Let $H$ be a bipartite graph that contains a…
