For fixed graphs $H$ and $F$, let $\ex(n,H,F)$ denote the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. In this note, we prove the generalized rational exponents conjecture, posed by Gerbner and Palmer, showing that for every rational number $\alpha\ge1$, there exist fixed graphs $H_\alpha$ and $F_\alpha$ such that \[ \ex(n,H_\alpha,F_\alpha)=\Theta(n^\alpha). \] Furthermore, the counting graph $H_\alpha$ can always be chosen connected with diameter at most $3$. Our argument hinges on a localization--compression--shift framework, which transforms the Bukh--Conlon finite family construction for edges into a generalized Tur\'an problem setting with a single forbidden graph.
Given a graph $H$, the extremal number $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph not containing $H$ as a subgraph. The well-known rational exponents conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits states that for any rational $\gamma\in (1,2)$ there exists a single bipartite graph $H$ satisfying $ex(n,H)=\...

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'{a}n number ${\rm ex}(n,H,F)$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. Alon and Shikhelman (J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2016) initiated the systematic study of generalized Tur\'{a}n problems. Recently, Gao, Wu and Xue (J. Graph Theory, 2026) as...
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}...
For a graph $H$ with $3\mid e(H)$, the zero-sum Ramsey number $R(H,\Z_3)$ is the least integer $N$ such that every labeling of the edges of $K_N$ by elements of $\Z_3$ contains a copy of $H$ whose edge labels sum to zero. We determine the last previously unresolved infinite family in the complete-graph case modulo $3$....
For graphs $H$ and $F$, let $ex(n,H,F)$ be the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. We study this problem when $H$ is a clique and $F=T_t$which is a fixed tree on $t$ vertices. The Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s conjecture concerns the value of $ex(n,K_2, T_t)$. Gerbner and Palmer proposed a more genera...
For a finite group $H$, let $\nu(H)$ denote the maximum order of a nilpotent subgroup of $H$. We prove that every finite solvable transitive permutation group $P$ on a finite set $\Omega$ has a subset $\Delta\subseteq\Omega$ such that $|P:P_\Delta|\ge\nu(P_\Delta)$. We also prove that if a finite solvable group $H$ act...
