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.

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 ...

Two Extremal Problems in Graph Theory
We consider the following two problems. (1) Let $t$ and $n$ be positive integers with $n\geq t\geq 2$. Determine the maximum number of edges of a graph of order $n$ that contains neither $K_t$ nor $K_{t,t}$ as a subgraph. (2) Let $r$, $t$ and $n$ be positive integers with $n\geq rt$ and $t\geq 2$. Determine the maximum number of edges of a graph of

Some Problems in Algebraic and Extremal Graph Theory.
In this dissertation, we consider a wide range of problems in algebraic and extremal graph theory. In extremal graph theory, we will prove that the Tree Packing Conjecture is true for all sequences of trees th a t are ‘almost stars’; and we prove tha t ...

Some problems in extremal graph theory avoiding the use of the regularity lemma
In this thesis we present two results in Extremal Graph Theory. The first result is a new proof of a conjecture of Bollobas on embedding trees of bounded degree. The second result is a new proof of the Posa conjecture.Let G=(W,E) be a graph on n vertices having minimum degree at least n/2 + c log(n), where c is a constant.

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.

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
