Zixiang Xu (徐子翔), On the degenerate Turán problems
For a graph $F$, the Turán number is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex simple graph not containing $F$. The celebrated Erdős-Stone-Simonovits Theorem gives that \ where $\chi(F)$ is the …

We determine the maximum number of copies of $K_{s,s}$ in a $C_{2s+2}$-free $n$-vertex graph for all integers $s \ge 2$ and sufficiently large $n$. Moreover, for $s\in\{2,3\}$ and any integer …
In computer science, random expressions are commonly used to analyze algorithms, either to study their average complexity, or to generate benchmarks to test them experimentally. In general, these approaches only …
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of graphs, and let $p$ and $r$ be nonnegative integers. The $(p,r,\mathcal{F})$-Covering problem asks whether for a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, there exists …
By a seminal result of Valiant, computing the permanent of (0, 1)-matrices is, in general, #P-hard. In 1913 Pólya asked for which (0, 1)-matrices A it is possible to change …
A linear $3$-graph is called a (3-)hypertree if there exists exactly one path between each pair of two distinct vertices. A linear $3$-graph is called a Steiner triple system if …
The disjoint paths logic, FOL+DP, is an extension of First Order Logic (FOL) with the extra atomic predicate $\mathsf{dp}_k(x_1,y_1,\ldots,x_k,y_k),$ expressing the existence of internally vertex-disjoint paths between $x_i$ and $y_i,$ …
Various types of independent sets have been studied for decades. As an example, the minimum number of maximal independent sets in a connected graph of given order is easy to …
The Graphic Travelling Salesman Problem is the problem of finding a spanning closed walk (a TSP walk) of minimum length in a given connected graph. The special case of the …
I will first introduce the notion of recognisability of languages of terms and then its extensions to sets of relational structures. In a second step, I will discuss relations with …
