Folkman's theorem asserts the existence of graphs $G$ which are $K_4$-free, but which have the property that every two-coloring of $E(G)$ contains a monochromatic triangle. The quantitative aspects of $f(2,3,4)$, the least $n$ such that…

We present a polynomial-time $(\alpha_{GW} + \varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm for the Maximum Cut problem on interval graphs and split graphs, where $\alpha_{GW} \approx 0.878$ is the approximation guarantee of the Goemans-Williamson…

For given integers $k$ and $r$, the Folkman number $f(k;r)$ is the smallest number of vertices in a graph $G$ which contains no clique on $k+1$ vertices, yet for every partition of its edges into $r$ parts, some part contains a clique of…

An $r$-cut of a $k$-uniform hypergraph is a partition of its vertex set into $r$ parts, and the size of the cut is the number of edges which have at least one vertex in each part. The study of the possible size of the largest $r$-cut in a…

In 1967, Erd\H{o}s asked for the greatest chromatic number, $f(n)$, amongst all $n$-vertex, triangle-free graphs. An observation of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal together with Shearer's classical upper bound for the off-diagonal Ramsey number $R(3,…

The MaxCut problem asks for the size ${\rm mc}(G)$ of a largest cut in a graph $G$. It is well known that ${\rm mc}(G)\ge m/2$ for any $m$-edge graph $G$, and the difference ${\rm mc}(G)-m/2$ is called the surplus of $G$. The study of the…

For a graph $G$ and integers $a_i \geq 1$, we say that $G \xrightarrow[]{} (a_1, \ldots, a_k)^v$ if in any $k$-coloring of $G$'s vertices there exists a monochromatic $a_i$-clique for some color $i \in \{1,\ldots,k\}$. $G \xrightarrow[]{}…

The set of the graphs which do not contain the complete graph on $q$ vertices $K_q$ and have the property that in every coloring of their edges in two colors there exist a monochromatic triangle is denoted by $\mathcal{H}_e(3, 3; q)$. The…

Max-Cut is a classical graph-partitioning problem where given a graph $G = (V,E)$, the objective is to find a cut $(S,S^c)$ which maximizes the number of edges crossing the cut. In a seminal work, Goemans and Williamson gave an $\alpha_{GW}…

We obtain several lower bounds on the $\textsf{Max-Cut}$ of $d$-degenerate $H$-free graphs. Let $f(m,d,H)$ denote the smallest $\textsf{Max-Cut}$ of an $H$-free $d$-degenerate graph on $m$ edges. We show that $f(m,d,K_r)\ge…

We study the boundary of tractability for the Max-Cut problem in graphs. Our main result shows that Max-Cut above the Edwards-Erd\H{o}s bound is fixed-parameter tractable: we give an algorithm that for any connected graph with n vertices…

The Max-Cut problem is a fundamental NP-hard problem, which is attracting attention in the field of quantum computation these days. Regarding the approximation algorithm of the Max-Cut problem, algorithms based on semidefinite programming…

Consider the following stochastic graph process. We begin with the empty graph on n vertices and add edges one at a time, where each edge is chosen uniformly at random from the collection of potential edges that do not form triangles when…

Goemans and Williamson designed a 0.878-approximation algorithm for Max-Cut in undirected graphs [JACM'95]. Khot, Kindler, Mosel, and O'Donnel showed that the approximation ratio of the Goemans-Williamson algorithm is optimal assuming…

Determining the maximum number of edges under degree and matching number constraints have been solved for general graphs by Chv\'{a}tal and Hanson (1976), and by Balachandran and Khare (2009). It follows from the structure of those extremal…

For a graph $G$, let $f(G)$ denote the size of the maximum cut in $G$. The problem of estimating $f(G)$ as a function of the number of vertices and edges of $G$ has a long history and was extensively studied in the last fifty years. In this…

In this note, we describe a $\alpha_{GW} + \tilde{\Omega}(1/d^2)$-factor approximation algorithm for Max-Cut on weighted graphs of degree $\leq d$. Here, $\alpha_{GW}\approx 0.878$ is the worst-case approximation ratio of the…

In [5] Graham and Rothschild consider a geometric Ramsey problem: finding the least n such that if all edges of the complete graph on the points {+1,-1}^n are 2-colored, there exist 4 coplanar points such that the 6 edges between them are…

The study of upper density problems on Ramsey theory was initiated by Erd\H{o}s and Galvin in 1993. In this paper we are concerned with the following problem: given a fixed finite graph $F$, what is the largest value of $\lambda$ such that…

Paul Erd\H{o}s suggested the following problem: Determine or estimate the number of maximal triangle-free graphs on $n$ vertices. Here we show that the number of maximal triangle-free graphs is at most $2^{n^2/8+o(n^2)}$, which matches the…
