New results in extremal combinatorics [PDF]

open access: possible, 2021
Extremal problems, in general, ask for the optimal size of certain finite objects when some restrictions are imposed. In extremal combinatorics, a major field in combinatorics, one studies how global properties guarantee the existence of local substructures, or equivalently, how avoiding local substructures poses a constraint on global quantities.

On a Bound in Extremal Combinatorics

Doklady Mathematics, 2018
A new statement of a recent theorem of [1, 2] on the maximum number of edges in a hypergraph with forbidden cardinalities of edge intersections is given. This statement is fundamentally simpler than the original one, which makes it possible to obtain important corollaries in combinatorial geometry and Ramsey theory.

Structure and randomness in extremal combinatorics

, 2017
In this thesis we prove several results in extremal combinatorics from areas including Ramsey theory, random graphs and graph saturation. We give a random graph analogue of the classical Andr´asfai, Erd˝os and S´os theorem showing that in some ways ...

The combinatorics and extreme value statistics of protein threading [PDF]

open access: closedAnnals of Combinatorics, 1999
In protein threading, one is given a protein sequence, together with a database of protein core structures that may contain the natural structure of the sequence. The object of protein threading is to correctly identify the structure(s) corresponding to the sequence.

Sumsets, Zero-Sums and Extremal Combinatorics [PDF]

open access: closed, 2006
This thesis develops and applies a method of tackling zero-sum additive questions, especially those related to the Erdos-Ginzburg-Ziv Theorem (EGZ), through the use of partitioning sequences into sets, i.e., set partitions. Much of the research can alternatively be found in the literature spread across nine separate articles, but is here collected into

Remark on one problem in extremal combinatorics

open access: closedProblems of Information Transmission, 2012
We reduce the problem of determining the maximum number of permutations of a finite set such that any pair of permutations has at least t common transpositions to the problem of determining the maximum number of permutations of finite set such that any pair has at least t common fixed points. The latter problem was solved by the author in [1].

Continuous optimisation in extremal combinatorics

, 2017
In this thesis we explore instances in which tools from continuous optimisation can be used to solve problems in extremal graph and hypergraph theory. We begin by introducing a generalised notion of hypergraph Lagrangian and use tools from the theory of

Algebraic, Extremal and Metric Combinatorics 1986

open access: closed, 1988
This book represents a comprehensive overview of the present state of progress in three related areas of combinatorics. It comprises selected papers from a conference held at the University of Montreal. Topics covered in the articles include association schemes, extremal problems, combinatorial geometrics and matroids, and designs.
