A classical extremal, or Tur\'an-type problem asks to determine ${\rm ex}(G, H)$, the largest number of edges in a subgraph of a graph $G$ which does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Alon and Shikhelman introduced the so-called…
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…
To compute the hyperbolicity constant is an almost intractable problem, thus it is natural to try to bound it in terms of some parameters of the graph. Let $\mathcal{G}(g,c,n)$ be the set of graphs $G$ with girth $g(G)=g$, circumference…
A \emph{simple} matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. For a (0,1)-matrix $F$, we say that a (0,1)-matrix $A$ has $F$ as a \emph{Berge hypergraph} if there is a submatrix $B$ of $A$ and some row and column permutation of $F$,…
Let $G$ be a large (simple, unlabeled) dense graph on $n$ vertices. Suppose that we only know, or can estimate, the empirical distribution of the number of subgraphs $F$ that each vertex in $G$ participates in, for some fixed small graph…
We consider three extremal problems about the number of copies of a fixed graph in another larger graph. First, we correct an error in a result of Reiher and Wagner and prove that the number of $k$-edge stars in a graph with density $x \in…
The study of counting point-hyperplane incidences in the $d$-dimensional space was initiated in the 1990's by Chazelle and became one of the central problems in discrete geometry. It has interesting connections to many other topics, such as…
In a generalized Tur\'an problem, two graphs $H$ and $F$ are given and the question is the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $F$-free graph of order $n$. In this paper, we study the number of double stars $S_{k,l}$ in triangle-free…
Given a family of graphs $\mathcal{H}$, the extremal number $\textrm{ex}(n, \mathcal{H})$ is the largest $m$ for which there exists a graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges containing no graph from the family $\mathcal{H}$ as a subgraph. We…
The $(k,r)$-fan is the graph consisting of $k$ copies of the complete graph $K_r$ which intersect in a single vertex, and is denoted by $F_{k,r}$. Erd\H{o}s, F\"uredi, Gould and Gunderson [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 64 (1995) 89--100]…
A zero-one matrix $M$ is said to contain another zero-one matrix $A$ if we can delete some rows and columns of $M$ and replace some $1$-entries with $0$-entries such that the resulting matrix is $A$. The extremal number of $A$, denoted…
For each natural number $n$ we determine, both asymptotically and exactly, the maximum number of edges an induced subgraph of order $n$ of the $d$-dimension a grid graph ${\ints}^d$ can have. The asymptotic bound is obtained by using a…
An $(n,s,q)$-graph is an $n$-vertex multigraph in which every $s$-set of vertices spans at most $q$ edges. Erd\H{o}s initiated the study of maximum number of edges of $(n,s,q)$-graphs, and the extremal problem on multigraphs has been…
Pattern avoidance is a central topic in graph theory and combinatorics. Pattern avoidance in matrices has applications in computer science and engineering, such as robot motion planning and VLSI circuit design. A $d$-dimensional zero-one…
The inducibility of a graph $H$ measures the maximum number of induced copies of $H$ a large graph $G$ can have. Generalizing this notion, we study how many induced subgraphs of fixed order $k$ and size $\ell$ a large graph $G$ on $n$…
In this paper, we consider an analog of the well-studied extremal problem for triangle-free subgraphs of graphs for uniform hypergraphs. A loose triangle is a hypergraph $T$ consisting of three edges $e,f$ and $g$ such that $|e \cap f| = |f…
In this paper we formulate and solve extremal problems in the d-dimensional Euclidean space and further in hypergraphs, originating from problems in stoichiometry and elementary linear algebra. The notion of affine simplex is the bridge…
For fixed $k\ge 2$, determining the order of magnitude of the number of edges in an $n$-vertex bipartite graph not containing $C_{2k}$, the cycle of length $2k$, is a long-standing open problem. We consider an extension of this problem to…
The Ruzsa-Szemer\'{e}di $(6,3)$-problem can be equivalently stated as determining the maximum number of edge-disjoint triangles on $n$ vertices such that no triangle is formed by edges from three distinct triangle-copies. Gowers and Janzer…
McCarty and Thomas conjectured that a linklessly embeddable graph with $n\ge 7 $ vertices and $t$ triangles has at most $3n-9 +\frac{t}{3}$ edges. Thomas and Yoo proved this to be true for apex graphs. We give a shorter and simpler proof…
