Information Inequalities via Submodularity and a Problem in Extremal Graph Theory. [PDF]
The present paper offers, in its first part, a unified approach for the derivation of families of inequalities for set functions which satisfy sub/supermodularity properties. It applies this approach for the derivation of information inequalities with Shannon information measures.

On some interconnections between combinatorial optimization and extremal graph theory [PDF]
The uniting feature of combinatorial optimization and extremal graph theory is that in both areas one should find extrema of a function defined in most cases on a finite set.

On an extremal problem in graph theory [PDF]
Let \(l\) and \(p\) be integers such that \(l>p\). It is shown that there exists a constant \(\gamma_{p,l}\) such that if \(n>n_0(p,l)\) then every graph with \(n\) vertices and \([\gamma_{p,l}n^{2-1/p}]\) edges contains a subgraph \(H\) with the following property: the vertices of \(H\) may be labbeled \(x_1,...,x_l\) and \(y_1,...,y_l\) so that every

An extremal problem in graph theory II [PDF]
AbstractWe contine our study of the following combinatorial problem: What is the largest integer N = N (t, m, p) for which there exists a set of N people satisfying the following conditions: (a) each person speaks t languages, (b) among any m people there are two who speak a common language and (c) at most p speak a common language.

An extremal problem in graph theory [PDF]
G(n;l) will denote a graph of n vertices and l edges. Let f0(n, k) be the smallest integer such that there is a G (n;f0(n, k)) in which for every set of k vertices there is a vertex joined to each of these. Thus for example fo = 3 since in a triangle each pair of vertices is joined to a third.

On some extremal problems in graph theory [PDF]
In this paper we are concerned with various graph invariants (girth, diameter, expansion constants, eigenvalues of the Laplacian, tree number) and their analogs for weighted graphs -- weighing the graph changes a combinatorial problem to one in analysis. We study both weighted and unweighted graphs which are extremal for these invariants.

Turan problems in extremal graph theory and flexibility
In this work we will study two distinct areas of graph theory: generalized Turan problems and graph flexibility. In the first chapter, we will provide some basic definitions and motivation. Chapters 2 and 3 contain two submitted papers showing that two graphs, the cycle on five vertices and the path on four vertices, are maximized by the Turan graph ...

Problems in extremal graphs and poset theory
In this dissertation, we present three different research topics and results regarding such topics. We introduce partially ordered sets (posets) and study two types of problems concerning them-- forbidden subposet problems and induced-poset-saturation problems. We conclude by presenting results obtained from studying vertex-identifying codes in graphs.

Problems in extremal graph theory and Euclidean Ramsey theory
This thesis addresses problems of three types. The first type is finding extremal numbers for unions of graphs, each with a colour-critical edge (joint work with V. Nikiforov). In 1968, Simonovits found extremal numbers $ex(n,H)$ for graphs with a colour-critical edge for large $n$ (without specifying how large).
