One of the most basic questions one can ask about a graph $H$ is: how many $H$-free graphs on $n$ vertices are there? For non-bipartite $H$, the answer to this question has been well-understood since 1986, when Erd\H{o}s, Frankl and R\"odl…

Generalized Tur\'an problem with given size, denoted as $\mathrm{mex}(m,K_r,F)$, determines the maximum number of $K_r$-copies in an $F$-free graph with $m$ edges. We prove that for $r\ge 3$ and $\alpha\in(\frac 2 r,1]$, any graph $G$ with…

In this paper we consider a natural extremal graph theoretic problem of topological sort, concerning the minimization of the (topological) connectedness of the independence complex of graphs in terms of its dimension. We observe that the…

Determining the Tur\'an densities of hypergraphs is a notoriously difficult problem at the core of combinatorics. Although Tur\'an posed this problem in 1941, $\pi(K_{\ell}^{(k)})$ remains unknown for all $\ell>k\geq 3$. Prior to this work,…

We study Tur\'an-type extremal problems for distance graphs, motivated by work of Csikv\'ari, Bollob\'as, Tyomkyn, and Uzzell. We determine the maximum number of vertex pairs at distance three in an $n$-vertex graph with no triangle formed…

An $r$-graph is an $r$-uniform hypergraph tree (or $r$-tree) if its edges can be ordered as $E_1,\ldots, E_m$ such that $\forall i>1 \, \exists \alpha(i)<i$ such that $E_i\cap (\bigcup_{j=1}^{i-1} E_j)\subseteq E_{\alpha(i)}$. The Tur\'an…

Ryser's Conjecture states that any $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph has a vertex cover of size at most $r - 1$ times the size of the largest matching. For $r = 2$, the conjecture is simply K\"onig's Theorem and every bipartite graph is a…

In this paper, we extend and refine previous Tur\'an-type results on graphs with a given circumference. Let $W_{n,k,c}$ be the graph obtained from a clique $K_{c-k+1}$ by adding $n-(c-k+1)$ isolated vertices each joined to the same $k$…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. According to Tur\'{a}n's theorem, if $G$ is $K_{r+1}$-free, then $m \leq |E(T(n, r))|,$ where $T(n, r)$ denotes the Tur\'{a}n graph on $n$ vertices with a maximum clique of order…

Given a $k$-graph $H$ a complete blow-up of $H$ is a $k$-graph $\hat{H}$ formed by replacing each $v\in V(H)$ by a non-empty vertex class $A_v$ and then inserting all edges between any $k$ vertex classes corresponding to an edge of $H$.…

A $3$-uniform hypergraph (or $3$-graph) $H=(V,E)$ is $(d,\mu,1)$-\emph{dense} if for any subsets $X,Y,Z\subseteq V$, the number of triples $(x,y,z)\in X\times Y\times Z$ such that $\{x,y,z\}$ is an edge of $H$ is at least $d|X||Y||Z|-\mu…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph for short) is linear if any two edges intersect at most one vertex. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a given family of $r$-graphs. An $r$-graph $H$ is called $\mathcal{F}$-free if $H$ does not contain any member of…

If $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of graphs then the Tur\'an density of $\mathcal{F}$ is determined by the minimum chromatic number of the members of $\mathcal{F}$. The situation for Tur\'an densities of 3-graphs is far more complex and still…
