The sigma clique cover number (resp. sigma clique partition number) of graph G, denoted by scc(G) (resp. scp(G)), is defined as the smallest integer k for which there exists a collection of cliques of G, covering (resp. partitioning) all…

Given a graph $F$ and an integer $r \ge 2$, a partition $\widehat{F}$ of the edge set of $F$ into at most $r$ classes, and a graph $G$, define $c_{r, \widehat{F}}(G)$ as the number of $r$-colorings of the edges of $G$ that do not contain a…

We determine the maximum number of maximal independent sets of arbitrary graphs in terms of their covering numbers and we completely characterize the extremal graphs. As an application, we give a similar result for K\"onig-Egerv\'ary graphs…

A d-interval hypergraph has d disjoint copies of the unit interval as its vertex set, and each edge is the union of d subintervals, one on each copy. Extending a classical result of Gallai on the case d = 1, Tardos and Kaiser used…

Let $r\geq 3$ be an integer and $G$ be a graph. Let $\delta(G), \Delta(G)$, $\alpha(G)$ and $\mu(G)$ denotes minimum degree, maximum degree, independence number and matching number of $G$, respectively. Recently, Caro, Davila and Pepper…

Given a simple graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset of $E$ is called a triangle cover if it intersects each triangle of $G$. Let $\nu_t(G)$ and $\tau_t(G)$ denote the maximum number of pairwise edge-disjoint triangles in $G$ and the minimum…

Let $K\_{[k,t]}$ be the complete graph on $k$ vertices from which a set of edges, induced by a clique of order $t$, has been dropped. In this note we give two explicit upper bounds for $R(K\_{[k\_1,t\_1]},\dots, K\_{[k\_r,t\_r]})$ (the…

We prove that for every surface $\Sigma$ of Euler genus $g$, every edge-maximal embedding of a graph in $\Sigma$ is at most $O(g)$ edges short of a triangulation of $\Sigma$. This provides the first answer to an open problem of Kainen…

In this paper we completely resolve the well-known problem of Erd\H{o}s and Sauer from 1975 which asks for the maximum number of edges an $n$-vertex graph can have without containing a $k$-regular subgraph, for some fixed integer $k\geq 3$.…

An $r$-graph is a triangle if there exists a positive integer $i \le \lceil r/2 \rceil$ such that it is isomorphic to the following $r$-graph with three edges: \begin{align*} \left\{\{1, \ldots, r\},~\{1, \ldots, i, r+1, \ldots,…

For a positive integer $s$, an $s$-club in a graph $G$ is a set of vertices inducing a subgraph with diameter at most $s$. As generalizations of cliques, $s$-clubs offer a flexible model for real-world networks. This paper addresses the…

For ordinary graphs it is known that any graph $G$ with more edges than the Tur{\'a}n number of $K_s$ must contain several copies of $K_s$, and a copy of $K_{s+1}^-$, the complete graph on $s+1$ vertices with one missing edge. Erd\H{o}s…

A long-standing conjecture of Zsolt Tuza asserts that the triangle covering number $\tau(G)$ is at most twice the triangle packing number $\nu(G)$, where the triangle packing number $\nu(G)$ is the maximum size of a set of edge-disjoint…

Let $G$ be a finite graph on $[n]:=\{1, \ldots, n\}$ and $\kappa(G)$ its vertex connectivity. Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I(G^c)$ the edge ideal of the complementary graph…

Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal proposed a problem that: is it true that every $(2n+1)$-vertex graph with $n^2+n+1$ edges contains two vertices of equal degree connected by a path of length three? The edge bound is sharp by the complete bipartite…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, Gy\'arf\'as, and Pyber says that in any edge-colouring of a complete graph with r colours, it is possible to cover all the vertices with r vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles. So far, this conjecture has been…

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…

An "edge guard set" of a plane graph $G$ is a subset $\Gamma$ of edges of $G$ such that each face of $G$ is incident to an endpoint of an edge in $\Gamma$. Such a set is said to guard $G$. We improve the known upper bounds on the number of…

The minimum number of bicliques needed to cover the edge set of the complete graph on $n$ vertices is $\lceil \log_2 n \rceil$. The Graham-Pollak theorem states that at least $n-1$ bicliques are required to partition the edge set of the…

For a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, define the minimum positive codegree $\delta_i^+(\mathcal{H})$ to be the largest integer $k$ such that every $i$-set which is contained in at least one edge of $\mathcal{H}$ is contained in at least $k$…
