In 1962, Erd\H{o}s characterized the maximum size of nonhamiltonian graphs of order $n$ with minimum degree at least $k$. Later, Ning and Peng [Combin. Probab. Comput. 29 (2020) 128-136] extended Erd\H{o}s's results to the clique condition and provided the maximum clique number for nonhamiltonian graphs of order $n$ with minimum degree at least $k$. Recently, Zhang [European J. Combin. 112 (2023) 103728] determined the maximum number of $s$-cliques in nonhamiltonian graphs with prescribed order and minimum degree. A natural extension is to characterize the maximum number of $s$-cliques under other graph properties. Notably, disjoint path cover problems are closely related to Hamiltonicity. In this paper, we generalize results on Hamiltonicity and establish sufficient conditions for a graph to possess one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many $t$-disjoint path covers in terms of the number of cliques and the $\alpha$-spectral radius, respectively. Furthermore, we characterize the extremal graphs that attain these bounds respectively.
Ferrero and Lesniak in 2018 found the maximum numbers of edges in $r$-partite non-Hamiltonian graphs. Recently we found the maximum numbers of edges and $t$-cliques in $K_{r+1}$-free graphs (1) that are not Hamiltonian or (2) that satisfy a condition on low-degree vertices related to P\'{o}sa's theorem. Applying theore...
In 1977, Erd\H{o}s posed the problem of determining the maximum number $f_r(n)$ of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph in which all disjoint pairs of edges have distinct unions. F\"uredi later conjectured that, for every fixed $r\ge 4$ and all sufficiently large $n$, $f_r(n)=\binom{n-1}{r-1}+\lfloor \frac{n-1...
For a graph $G$, let $h(G)$ be the minimum cardinality of a vertex set meeting every maximum independent set of $G$. We establish two complementary reduction principles for the Bollob\'as--Erd\H{o}s--Tuza conjecture: the conjecture for arbitrary graphs is equivalent to its restriction to regular graphs of any fixed pos...
The spectral Tur\'an type problem, initiated by Nikiforov in 2007, aims to determine the graphs among $n$-vertex $H$-free graphs having maximum spectral radius. In this paper, we study this problem for $1$-planar graphs, i.e., graphs that admit a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. Recentl...
In 1984, Roland H\"{a}ggkvist posed the problem of constructing Hamiltonian graphs of order $n$ with large minimum degree and no $(n-2)$-cycle. He remarked that he did not know of such a graph with minimum degree at least three. We solve this problem by proving the following two results. (1) For every integer $d\ge 3$...
The clique partition number of a graph is the minimum number of complete subgraphs whose edge sets partition its edge set. We study graphs in which, in every induced subgraph and outside every prescribed clique, some vertex has a neighbourhood that becomes a clique after deleting at most $s$ vertices. The case $s=0$ is...
