In the Densest k-Subgraph problem, given a graph G and a parameter k, one needs to find a subgraph of G induced on k vertices that contains the largest number of edges. There is a significant gap between the best known upper and lower…

The codegree Tur\'an density $\gamma(F)$ of a $k$-graph $F$ is the smallest $\gamma\in[0,1)$ such that every $k$-graph $H$ with $\delta_{k-1}(H)\geq(\gamma+o(1))\vert V(H)\vert$ contains a copy of $F$. We prove that for all…

Let $G$ be a finite graph and $K[G]$ the edge ring of $G$. Based on the technique of Gr\"obner bases and initial ideals, it will be proved that, given integers $f$ and $d$ with $7 \leq f \leq d$, there exists a finite graph $G$ on…

Finding the maximum number of maximal independent sets in an $n$-vertex graph $G$, $i(G)$, from a restricted class is an extensively studied problem. Let $kK_2$ denote the matching of size $k$, that is a graph with $2k$ vertices and $k$…

We asymptotically determine the maximum density of subgraphs isomorphic to $H$, where $H$ is any graph containing a dominating vertex, in graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree and bounded clique number. That is, we…

For a graph $G$, let $\cn(G)$ and $\la(G)$ denote the chromatic number of $G$ and the maximum local edge connectivity of $G$, respectively. A result of Dirac \cite{Dirac53} implies that every graph $G$ satisfies $\cn(G)\leq \la(G)+1$. In…

In this note we prove that for every integer $k$, there exist constants $g_{1}(k)$ and $g_{2}(k)$ such that the following holds. If $G$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta$ then it contains an induced subgraph $H$ on at…

It is an easy observation that a natural greedy approach yields a $\left(d-O(1)\right)$-factor approximation algorithm for the maximum induced matching problem in $d$-regular graphs. The only considerable and non-trivial improvement of this…

We show that for a graph $G$ with the vertex set $V$ and the largest eigenvalue $\lambda_{\max}(G)$, letting $$ M(G) := \max_{X,Y \subset V} \frac{e(X,Y)}{\sqrt{|X||Y|}} $$ (where $e(X,Y)$ denotes the number of edges between $X$ and $Y$),…

We consider the problem of determining the inducibility (maximum possible asymptotic density of induced copies) of oriented graphs on four vertices. We provide exact values for more than half of the graphs, and very close lower and upper…

We study the problem of detecting local geometry in random graphs. We introduce a model $\mathcal{G}(n, p, d, k)$, where a hidden community of average size $k$ has edges drawn as a random geometric graph on $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$, while all…

We study Nordhaus-Gaddum problems for Kemeny's constant $\mathcal{K}(G)$ of a connected graph $G$. We prove bounds on $\min\{\mathcal{K}(G),\mathcal{K}(\overline{G})\}$ and the product $\mathcal{K}(G)\mathcal{K}(\overline{G})$ for various…

A graph $G$ is $\textit{universal}$ for a (finite) family $\mathcal{H}$ of graphs if every $H \in \mathcal{H}$ is a subgraph of $G$. For a given family $\mathcal{H}$, the goal is to determine the smallest number of edges an…
