A hole in a graph is an induced cycle of length at least $4$. Let $sge2$ and $tge2$ be integers. A graph $G$ is $(s,t)$-splittable if $V(G)$ can be partitioned into two sets $S$ and $T$ such that $chi(G[S ]) ge s$ and $chi(G[T ]) ge t$. The well-known ErdH{o}s-Lovasz Tihany Conjecture from 1968 states that every graph $G$ with $omega(G) < chi(G) = s + t - 1$ is $(s,t)$-splittable. This conjecture is hard, and few related results are known. However, it has been verified to be true for line graphs, quasi-line graphs, and graphs with independence number $2$. In this paper, we establish more evidence for the ErdH{o}s-Lovasz Tihany Conjecture by showing that every graph $G$ with $alpha(G)ge3$, $omega(G) < chi(G) = s + t - 1$, and no hole of length between $4$ and $2alpha(G)-1$ is $(s,t)$-splittable, where $alpha(G)$ denotes the independence number of a graph $G$.

The ErdH{o}s-Faber-Lov{a}sz conjecture (posed in 1972) states that the chromatic index of any linear hypergraph on $n$ vertices is at most $n$. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for every large $n$. We also provide stabili
A graph is $P_8$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to the path $P_8$ on eight vertices. In 1995, ErdH{o}s and Gy{a}rf{a}s conjectured that every graph of minimum degree at least three contains a cycle whose length is a power of two. In this paper, we confirm the conjecture for $P_8$-free graphs by showing that there exists a cycle of length four or eight in every $P_8$-free graph with minimum degree at least three.
We prove that there exists a function $f(k)=mathcal{O}(k^2 log k)$ such that for every $C_4$-free graph $G$ and every $k in mathbb{N}$, $G$ either contains $k$ vertex-disjoint holes of length at least $6$, or a set $X$ of at most $f(k)$ vertices such that $G-X$ has no hole of length at least $6$. This answers a question of Kim and Kwon [ErdH{o}s-Posa property of chordless cycles and its applications. JCTB 2020].
Let $mathbf{k} := (k_1,dots,k_s)$ be a sequence of natural numbers. For a graph $G$, let $F(G;mathbf{k})$ denote the number of colourings of the edges of $G$ with colours $1,dots,s$ such that, for every $c in {1,dots,s}$, the edges of colour $c$ contain no clique of order $k_c$. Write $F(n;mathbf{k})$ to denote the maximum of $F(G;mathbf{k})$ over all graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices. This problem was first considered by ErdH{o}s and Rothschild in 1974, but it has been solved only for a very small number of non-trivial cases. We prove that, for every $mathbf{k}$ and $n$, there is a complete multipartite graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $F(G;mathbf{k}) = F(n;mathbf{k})$. Also, for every $mathbf{k}$ we construct a finite optimisation problem whose maximum is equal to the limit of $log_2 F(n;mathbf{k})/{nchoose 2}$ as $n$ tends to infinity. Our final result is a stability theorem for complete multipartite graphs $G$, describing the asymptotic structure of such $G$ with $F(G;mathbf{k}) = F(n;mathbf{k}) cdot 2^{o(n^2)}$ in terms of solutions to the optimisation problem.
We prove the well-known Brown-ErdH{o}s-Sos Conjecture for hypergraphs of large uniformity in the following form: any dense linear $r$-graph $G$ has $k$ edges spanning at most $(r-2)k+3$ vertices, provided the uniformity $r$ of $G$ is large enough given the linear density of $G$, and the number of vertices of $G$ is large enough given $r$ and $k$.
