Loebl, Komlos, and Sos conjectured that any graph with at least half of its vertices of degree at least k contains every tree with at most k edges. We propose a version of this conjecture for skewed trees, i.e., we consider the class of trees with at most k edges such that the sizes of the colour classes of the trees have a given ratio. We show that our conjecture is asymptotically correct for dense graphs. The proof relies on the regularity method. Our result implies bounds on Ramsey number of several trees of given skew.

We prove a version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture for dense graphs. For each q>0 there exists a number $n_0in mathbb{N}$ such that for any n>n_0 and k>qn the following holds: if G be a graph of order n with at least n/2 vertices of degree at least k, then any tree of order k+1 is a subgraph of G.
Loebl, Komlos and Sos conjectured that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $n/2$ vertices of degree at least $k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k+1$ as a subgraph. We give a sketch of a proof of the approximate version of this conjecture for large values of $k$. For our proof, we use a structural decomposition which can be seen as an analogue of Szemeredis regularity lemma for possibly very sparse graphs. With this tool, each graph can be decomposed into four parts: a set of vertices of huge degree, regular pairs (in the sense of the regularity lemma), and two other objects each exhibiting certain expansion properties. We then exploit the properties of each of the parts of $G$ to embed a given tree $T$. The purpose of this note is to highlight the key steps of our proof. Details can be found in [arXiv:1211.3050].
Loebl, Komlos, and Sos conjectured that if at least half the vertices of a graph G have degree at least some k, then every tree with at most k edges is a subgraph of G. We prove the conjecture for all trees of diameter at most 5 and for a class of caterpillars. Our result implies a bound on the Ramsey number r(T,F) of trees T, F from the above classes.
In a series of four papers we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every $alpha>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $(frac12+alpha)n$ vertices of degree at least $(1+alpha)k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k$ as a subgraph. The method to prove our result follows a strategy similar to approaches that employ the Szemeredi regularity lemma: we decompose the graph $G$, find a suitable combinatorial structure inside the decomposition, and then embed the tree $T$ into $G$ using this structure. Since for sparse graphs $G$, the decomposition given by the regularity lemma is not helpful, we use a more general decomposition technique. We show that each graph can be decomposed into vertices of huge degree, regular pairs (in the sense of the regularity lemma), and two other objects each exhibiting certain expansion properties. In this paper, we introduce this novel decomposition technique. In the three follow-up papers, we find a combinatorial structure suitable inside the decomposition, which we then use for embedding the tree.
This is the third of a series of four papers in which we prove the following relaxation of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every $alpha>0$ there exists a number $k_0$ such that for every $k>k_0$ every $n$-vertex graph $G$ with at least $(frac12+alpha)n$ vertices of degree at least $(1+alpha)k$ contains each tree $T$ of order $k$ as a subgraph. In the first paper of the series, we gave a decomposition of the graph $G$ into several parts of different characteristics. In the second paper, we found a combinatorial structure inside the decomposition. In this paper, we will give a refinement of this structure. In the forthcoming fourth paper, the refined structure will be used for embedding the tree $T$.
