In this survey, we consider extremal problems for transversal structures in graph systems. More precisely, we summarize some sufficient conditions that ensure the existence of transversal structures in graph/digraph/hypergraph systems, which generalize several classical theorems in extremal graph theory to transversal version. We also include a number of conjectures and open problems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-12-02T04:47:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C35" ], "keywords": [ "transversal structures", "common vertex set", "extremal graph theory", "open problems", "transversal version" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
