On the Ramsey Number of Sparse 3-Graphs
AbstractWe consider a hypergraph generalization of a conjecture of Burr and Erdős concerning the Ramsey number of graphs with bounded degree. It was shown by Chvátal, Rödl, Trotter, and Szemerédi [The...

AbstractSzemerédi’s regularity lemma proved to be a fundamental result in modern graph theory. It had a number of important applications and is a widely used tool in extremal combinatorics. For some...

AbstractLet k be a positive integer and n=⌊log2k⌋. We prove that there is an ε = ε(k) > 0 such that for sufficiently large r, every r-uniform hypergraph with maximum edge degree at most $$...

AbstractThe Frieze-Kannan regularity lemma is a powerful tool in combinatorics. It has also found applications in the design of approximation algorithms and recently in the design of fast combinatorial...

AbstractExtending the problem of determining Ramsey numbers Erdős and Rogers introduced the following function. For given integers 2 ≤ s< t let fs,t(n) = min{max{|S|: S⊆ V (H) and H[S] contains no...

AbstractThomason and Chung, Graham and Wilson were the first to systematically investigate properties of quasirandom graphs. They have stated several quite disparate graph properties — such as having...

AbstractWe give a polynomial time randomized algorithm that, on receiving as input a pair (H,G) of n-vertex graphs, searches for an embedding of H into G. If H has bounded maximum degree and G is...

SummaryLet k be an integer. A graph G is k-arrangeable (concept introduced by Chen and Schelp) if the vertices of G can be numbered v1, v2, …, vn in such a way that for every integer i with 1 ≤ i≤ n,...

AbstractWe say that a graph with n vertices is c-Ramsey if it does not contain either a clique or an independent set of size c logn. We define a CNF formula which expresses this property for a graph G....
