Let $F(G)$ be the number of forests of a graph $G$. Similarly let $C(G)$ be the number of connected spanning subgraphs of a connected graph $G$. We bound $F(G)$ and $C(G)$ for regular graphs and for graphs with fixed average degree. Among…

An oriented graph is a digraph obtained from an undirected graph by choosing an orientation for each edge. Given a positive integer $n$ and an oriented graph $F$, the oriented Tur$\acute{\rm a}$n number $ex_{ori}(n,F)$ is the maximum number…

We study the uniqueness of optimal solutions to extremal graph theory problems. Lovasz conjectured that every finite feasible set of subgraph density constraints can be extended further by a finite set of density constraints so that the…

The emerging theory of graph limits exhibits an analytic perspective on graphs, showing that many important concepts and tools in graph theory and its applications can be described more naturally (and sometimes proved more easily) in…

Keszegh (2009) proved that the extremal function $ex(n, P)$ of any forbidden light $2$-dimensional 0-1 matrix $P$ is at most quasilinear in $n$, using a reduction to generalized Davenport-Schinzel sequences. We extend this result to…

The {\sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we improve known parameterized algorithms and…

A classical result in extremal graph theory is Mantel's Theorem, which states that every maximum triangle-free subgraph of $K_n$ is bipartite. A sparse version of Mantel's Theorem is that, for sufficiently large $p$, every maximum…

We present new, and mostly sharp, bounds on the maximum length of certain generalizations of Davenport-Schinzel sequences. Among the results are sharp bounds on order-$s$ {\em double DS} sequences, for all $s$, sharp bounds on sequences…

We consider several problems related to packing forests in graphs. The first one is to find $k$ edge-disjoint forests in a directed graph $G$ of maximal size such that the indegree of each vertex in these forests is at most $k$. We describe…

Let a 2 to 1 directed hypergraph be a 3-uniform hypergraph where every edge has two tail vertices and one head vertex. For any such directed hypergraph F let the nth extremal number of F be the maximum number of edges that any directed…

A central theme in extremal combinatorics is the study of the maximum number of edges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph ($r$-graph) with matching number at most $s$ (the Erd\H{o}s Matching Conjecture) or with pairwise intersection at least $t$…

We study the upper tail of the number of arithmetic progressions of a given length in a random subset of {1,...,n}, establishing exponential bounds which are best possible up to constant factors in the exponent. The proof also extends to…

Let $n, r, k$ be positive integers such that $3\leq k < n$ and $2\leq r \leq k-1$. Let $m(n, r, k)$ denote the maximum number of edges an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices can have under the condition that any collection of $i$ edges,…

The expansion of a graph $F$, denoted by $F^3$, is the $3$-graph obtained from $F$ by adding a new vertex to each edge such that different edges receive different vertices. For large $n$, we establish tight upper bounds for: The maximum…

The angular bispectrum of spherical random fields has recently gained an enormous importance, especially in connection with statistical inference on cosmological data. In this paper, we provide expressions for its moments of arbitrary order…

In network flow problems, there is a well-known one-to-one relationship between extreme points of the feasibility region and trees in the associated undirected graph. The same is true for the dual differential problem. In this paper, we…

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…

In this paper we study the the average order of dominating sets in a graph, $\operatorname{avd}(G)$. Like other average graph parameters, the extremal graphs are of interest. Beaton and Brown (2021) conjectured that for all graphs $G$ of…

We study the problems of bounding the number weak and strong independent sets in $r$-uniform, $d$-regular, $n$-vertex linear hypergraphs with no cross-edges. In the case of weak independent sets, we provide an upper bound that is tight up…

We consider the inverse problem for countable, locally finite electrical networks with edge weights in an arbitrary field. The electrical inverse problem seeks to determine the weights of the edges knowing only the potential and current…
