For positive integers $d$ and $k$, let $n_k(d)$ be the maximum order of a graph of maximum degree at most $d$ and diameter at most $k$. We prove that $$ \lim_{d\to\infty}\frac{n_k(d)}{d^k}=1$$ for every fixed $k$, thereby resolving the asymptotic degree-diameter problem for fixed diameter and proving a conjecture of Bollob\'as. The lower bound comes from regular graphs $H_{k,q}$, indexed by prime powers $q$, whose vertices are partial flags in $\mathbb{F}_q^{\,2k+1}$. These graphs have diameter $k$ and order $|V(H_{k,q})| =(1+o(1))\Delta(H_{k,q})^k$. We also construct, for every fixed $\ell \ge 2$, graphs of maximum degree at most $d$ and line-graph diameter at most $\ell$ with $(1+o(1))d^{\ell}$ edges.
For integers $d\geq 3$, let $F_{2,d}(n)$ be the largest size of a subset of $[n]$ containing no two distinct elements whose product is a perfect $d$-th power, and let $f_{2,d}(n)$ denote the analogous quantity when the two elements need not be distinct. Fleiner, Juh\'asz, K\"ov\'er, Pach, and S\'andor proved that both...
For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $\mathbf N(G,H)$ denote the number of unlabeled, not necessarily induced copies of $H$ in $G$, and let $\mathbf N_{\mathcal P}(n,H)$ be the maximum of $\mathbf N(G,H)$ over all $n$-vertex planar graphs $G$. We prove that, for every fixed integer $m\geq 3$, $$\mathbf N_{\mathcal P}(n,C_{2m+1}...
Let $k>t\ge 1$ be integers and set $d=k-t$. A $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal F$ is called $t$-intersecting if any two edges intersect in at least $t$ vertices, and is called $t$-critical if its minimum $t$-transversal has size $k$. Frankl proved that, for $k\ge d^4$,$|\mathcal F|\le \binom{k+d}{d},$ with equality onl...

Given a graph $G$ with degree sequence $d_{1},\ldots,d_{n}$ and a positive real number $p$, let $e_{p}(G)=\sum_{i=1}^{n} d_{i}^{p}$. For a fixed family of graphs $\mathcal F$, let $ex_{p}(n, \mathcal F)$ denote the maximum value of $e_{p}(G)$ over all $\mathcal F$-free graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices. In 2000, Caro and Yust...
For a given number $N$, we consider the problem of computing two integers $1\leq r,f<N$ such that the set $$\mathcal{X}(N,r,f) = \{(a+b)-(f+\frac{Nr+1}{f}): ab=Nr\}$$ consists only of positive integers. Computing a solution to the problem is equivalent to finding a pair $(r,f)$ satisfying $l(Nr)<f \leq l(Nr+1)$, where...
For an $F$-free graph $G$, a non-edge is $F$-saturating if adding it to $G$ creates a copy of $F$. We denote by $f_{p+1}(n,m)$ the minimum number of $K_{p+1}$-saturating non-edges in a $K_{p+1}$-free $n$-vertex graph with $m$ edges. Erd\H{o}s and Tuza conjectured that $f_4\left(n,\mathrm{ex}(n,K_3)+ 1\right)= (1 + o(1)...
