Let $K^{(r)}_{s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_r}$ be the complete $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph and $ex(n,K^{(r)}_{s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_r})$ be the maximum number of edges in any $n$-vertex $K^{(r)}_{s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_r}$-free $r$-uniform hypergraph. It…

The $r$-uniform expansion $F^{(r)+}$ of a graph $F$ is obtained by enlarging each edge with $r-2$ new vertices such that altogether we use $(r-2)|E(F)|$ new vertices. Two simple lower bounds on the largest number $\mathrm{ex}_r(n,F^{(r)+})$…

A graph $G$ is called $H$-free, if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. In 2010, Nikiforov proposed a Brualdi-Solheid-Tur\'{a}n type problem: what is the maximum spectral radius of an $H$-free graph of order $n$? In this paper, we…

The Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$ is the maximal number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. In $1983$ Chung and Erd\H{o}s asked which graphs $H$ with $e$ edges minimize $\text{ex}(n,H)$. They resolved this…

Let $G$ be a connected graph and $\mathcal{P}(G)$ a graph parameter. We say that $\mathcal{P}(G)$ is feasible if $\mathcal{P}(G)$ satisfies the following properties: (I) $\mathcal{P}(G)\leq \mathcal{P}(G_{uv})$, if $G_{uv}=G[u\to v]$ for…

The \emph{Tur\'an function} $\ex(n,F)$ of a graph $F$ is the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free graph with $n$ vertices. The classical results of Tur\'an and Rademacher from 1941 led to the study of supersaturated graphs where the key…

We study the following generalization of the Tur\'an problem in sparse random graphs. Given graphs $T$ and $H$, let $\mathrm{ex}\big(G(n,p), T, H\big)$ be the random variable that counts the largest number of copies of $T$ in a subgraph of…

We study how many copies of a graph $F$ that another graph $G$ with a given number of cliques is guaranteed to have. For example, one of our main results states that for all $t\ge 2$, if $G$ is an $n$ vertex graph with $kn^{3/2}$ triangles…
