In this note, we establish Andr'{a}sfai--ErdH{o}s--S'{o}s-type stability theorems for two generalized Tur'{a}n problems involving odd cycles, both of which are extensions of the ErdH{o}s Pentagon Problem. Our results strengthen previous results by Lidick'{y}--Murphy~cite{LM21} and Beke--Janzer~cite{BJ24}, while also simplifying parts of their proofs.

Let $m$ be a positive integer. A group $G$ is said to be an $m$-BCI-group if $G$ has the $k$-BCI property for all positive integers $k$ at most $m$. Let $G$ be a generalized quaternion group of order $4n$ with $ngeq 2$. It is shown that $G$ is a 3-BCI-group if and only if $G$ is a $2$-BCI-group if and only if $n=2$ or $n$ is odd.

In 2014, Vesti proposed the problem of determining the repetition threshold for infinite rich words, i.e., for infinite words in which all factors of length $n$ contain $n$ distinct nonempty palindromic factors. In 2020, Currie, Mol, and Rampersad proved a conjecture of Baranwal and Shallit that the repetition threshold for binary rich words is $2 + sqrt{2}/2$. In this paper, we prove a structure theorem for $16/7$-power-free ternary rich words. Using the structure theorem, we deduce that the repetition threshold for ternary rich words is $1 + 1/(3 - mu) approx 2.25876324$, where $mu$ is the unique real root of the polynomial $x^3 - 2x^2 - 1$.

While every plane triangulation is colourable with three or four colours, Heawood showed that a plane triangulation is 3-colourable if and only if every vertex has even degree. In $d geq 3$ dimensions, however, every $k geq d+1$ may occur as the chromatic number of some triangulation of ${mathbb S}^d$. As a first step, Joswig structurally characterised which triangulations of ${mathbb S}^d$ have a $(d+1)$-colourable 1-skeleton. In the 20 years since Joswig's result, no characterisations have been found for any $k>d+1$. In this paper, we structurally characterise which triangulations of ${mathbb S}^d$ have a $(d+2)$-colourable 1-skeleton: they are precisely the triangulations that have a subdivision such that for every $(d-2)$-cell, the number of incident $(d-1)$-cells is divisible by three.

We say a directed graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is irredundant if the removal of any edge reduces the number of ordered pairs of distinct vertices $(u,v)$ such that there exists a directed path from $u$ to $v$. We determine the maximum possible number of edges such a graph can have, for every $n in mathbb{N}$. We also characterize the cases of equality. This resolves, in a strong form, a question of Crane and Russell.

We study Furstenberg set problem, and exceptional set estimate for Marstrand's orthogonal projection in prime fields for all dimensions. We define the Furstenberg index $mathbf{F}(s,t;n,k)$ and the Marstrand index $mathbf{M}(a,s;n,k)$. It is shown that the two-dimensional result for Furstenberg set problem implies all higher dimensional results.

The graph polytopes arising from the vertex weighted graph, which was first introduced and studied by B'ona, Ju, and Yoshida. A conjecture states that for a simple connected graph, the polynomial in the numerator of the Ehrhart series is palindromic. We confirm the conjecture. Furthermore, we introduce the hypergraph polytope. We prove that the simple connected unimodular hypergraph polytopes are integer polytopes. We also prove the polynomial in the numerator of the Ehrhart series of simple connected uniform hypergraph polytopes is palindromic.

A graph $G$ is called an $[s,t]$-graph if any induced subgraph of $G$ of order $s$ has size at least $t.$ We prove that every $2$-connected $[4,2]$-graph of order at least $7$ is pancyclic. This strengthens existing results. There are $2$-connected $[4,2]$-graphs which do not satisfy the Chv'{a}tal-ErdH{o}s condition. We also determine the triangle-free graphs among $[p+2,p]$-graphs for a general $p.$

This paper investigates five kinds of systems of $d$-partitions of $[n]$, including symmetric Bollob'{a}s systems, strong Bollob'{a}s systems, Bollob'{a}s systems, skew Bollob'{a}s systems, and weak Bollob'{a}s systems. Many known results on variations of Bollob'{a}s systems are unified. Especially we give a negative answer to a conjecture on Bollob'{a}s systems of $d$-partitions of $[n]$ that was presented by Heged"{u}s and Frankl [European J. Comb., 120 (2024), 103983]. Even though this conjecture does not hold for general Bollob'{a}s systems, we show that it holds for strong Bollob'{a}s systems of $d$-partitions of $[n]$.

ErdH{o}s and Rado [P. ErdH{o}s, R. Rado, A combinatorial theorem, Journal of the London Mathematical Society 25 (4) (1950) 249-255] introduced the Canonical Ramsey numbers $text{er}(t)$ as the minimum number $n$ such that every edge-coloring of the ordered complete graph $K_n$ contains either a monochromatic, rainbow, upper lexical, or lower lexical clique of order $t$. Richer [D. Richer, Unordered canonical Ramsey numbers, Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series B 80 (2000) 172-177] introduced the unordered asymmetric version of the Canonical Ramsey numbers $text{CR}(s,r)$ as the minimum $n$ such that every edge-coloring of the (unorderd) complete graph $K_n$ contains either a rainbow clique of order $r$, or an orderable clique of order $s$. We show that $text{CR}(s,r) = O(r^3/log r)^{s-2}$, which, up to the multiplicative constant, matches the known lower bound and improves the previously best known bound $text{CR}(s,r) = O(r^3/log r)^{s-1}$ by Jiang [T. Jiang, Canonical Ramsey numbers and proporly colored cycles, Discrete Mathematics 309 (2009) 4247-4252]. We also obtain bounds on the further variant $text{ER}(m,ell,r)$, defined as the minimum $n$ such that every edge-coloring of the (unorderd) complete graph $K_n$ contains either a monochromatic $K_m$, lexical $K_ell$, or rainbow $K_r$.
