In the so-called generalized Tur\'an problems we study the largest number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph $G$. Here we introduce a variant, where $F$ is not forbidden, but we restrict how copies of $H$ and $F$ can be placed…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'an number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,F)$ is the largest number of copies of $H$ in $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs. We study the case when either $H$ or $F$ is a matching. We obtain several asymptotic and…

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…

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

In many proofs concerning extremal parameters of Berge hypergraphs one starts with analyzing that part of that shadow graph which is contained in many hyperedges. Capturing this phenomenon we introduce two new types of hypergraphs. A…

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 Tur\'{a}n number of a graph $H$ is the maximum number of edges in any graph of order $n$ that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. In 1959, Erd\H os and Gallai obtained a sharp upper bound of Tur\'{a}n numbers for a path of arbitrary…

Let $F$ be a graph. A hypergraph is called Berge-$F$ if it can be obtained by replacing each edge of $F$ by a hyperedge containing it. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of graphs. The Tur\'an number of Berge-$\mathcal{F}$ is the maximum…

Very recently, Alon and Frankl initiated the study of the maximum number of edges in $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs with matching number at most $s$. For fixed $F$ and $s$, we determine this number apart from a constant additive term. We also…

In this paper we deal with a Tur\'an-type problem: given a positive integer n and a forbidden graph H, how many edges can there be in a graph on n vertices without a subgraph H? How does a graph look like if it has this extremal edge…

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 =…

For a family of graphs $\F$, a graph is called $\F$-free if it does not contain any member of $\F$ as a subgraph. The generalized Tur\'an number $\ex(n,K_r,\F)$ is the maximum number of $K_r$ in an $n$-vertex $\F$-free graph and…

The Tur\'{a}n number of a graph $H$, denoted $\mbox{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph with no subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Solymosi conjectured that if $H$ is any graph and $\mbox{ex}(n,H) = O(n^{\alpha})$…

The Tur\'an number of an r-uniform hypergraph H is the maximum number of edges in any r-graph on n vertices which does not contain H as a subgraph. Let P_l^(r) denote the family of r-uniform loose paths on l edges, F(k,l) denote the family…

Graphs whose maximum clique size exceeds half of the total number of vertices satisfy a classical property: the family of their maximum sized cliques can be pierced by a single vertex. This result dates back to a 1965 theorem by Hajnal.…
