Title Problems From Extremal Combinatorics
Summary The thesis consists of multiple problems from the field of extremal combinatorics.
Chapter 1&2: Introduction and notations
Chapter 3:We determine the minimal length of the longest trail in a fixed edge-density graph. This result is similar to the Erdos-Gallai theorem describing the maximal size of a graph not containing a path of length l.
Chapter 4: We determine the extremal behaviour of 3-uniform k-fan-free hypergraphs.
Chapter 5: The concept of almost intersecting set systems is introduced and multiple possible definitions (=l, <=l,uniform, non-uniform) are examined.
Chapter 6: the concept of cross-Sperner pairs of families is introduced and analysed.
Chapter 7: Further almost-properties are introduced and analysed ('almost Sperner', 'almost intersecting Sperner' and 'almost unrelated' families)
