A Near-Optimal Linear Range for the Erdős Matching Conjecture

Mengyu Cao, Hong Liu, Haixiang Zhang

The Erdős Matching Conjecture is governed by two competing ways of excluding disjoint edges: one may concentrate all edges on fewer than vertices, or force every edg…

Extremal Families for Matchings in Permutations

Mengyu Cao, Haixiang Zhang

Two permutations are called disjoint if the composition has no fixed point. If a family contains no pairwise disjoint permutati…

A Sharp Spectral Erdős--Ko--Rado Theorem for Uniform Hypergraphs

Mengyu Cao, Mei Lu, Haixiang Zhang

The spectral Erdős--Ko--Rado problem asks for the largest adjacency-tensor spectral radius of a -intersecting -uniform family. Keevash, Lenz and Mubayi proved that, for fixed…

Entropy Transference for Rainbow--Free Colourings of Random Graphs

Mengyu Cao, Mei Lu, Haixiang Zhang

Let be a fixed graph with that contains two adjacent edges, and let be fixed. We establish an entropy-transference principle for rainbow--free edge…

Algorithm for finding vertex-edge domination number on graphs with bounded treewidth and related problems on planar graphs

Yichen Wang, Haixiang Zhang, Mei Lu

Given a graph , a vertex {\em ve-dominates} all edges incident to any vertex of . A set is a {\em ve-dominating set} if for all edges $e\…

On degree bounds of -uniform hypergraphs with bounded matching number

Haixiang Zhang, Mengyu Cao, Mei Lu

We study the connection between the degree sequence of a -uniform hypergraph and the size of its largest matching. Let be a -uniform hypergraph on vertices…

Cross-intersection theorems for uniform partitions of finite sets

Tian Yao, Mengyu Cao, Haixiang Zhang

A set partition is -uniform if every block has size . Two families of -uniform partitions of a finite set are said to be cross -intersecting if two partitions from diff…

Generalizations of the Erdős Matching Conjecture for the -Matching Number

Mengyu Cao, Mei Lu, Haixiang Zhang

We write finite set systems as uniform hypergraphs. A \emph{-matching} in a -uniform hypergraph is a set of hyperedges any two of which intersect in fewer than vertices.…
