The semi-inducibility problem


Combinatorics Seminar


9th December 2025, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
Fry Building, 4th Floor Seminar Room


Let $H$ be a $k$-edge-coloured graph and let $n$ be a positive integer. What is the maximum number of copies of $H$ in a $k$-edge-coloured complete graph on $n$ vertices? I will discuss the case $k=2$, which we call the semi-inducibility problem. This problem is a generalisation of the inducibility problem of Pippenger and Golumbic which is solved only for some small graphs and limited families of graphs.

I will introduce some new results in joint work with Abdul Basit, Bertille Granet, Daniel Horsley and André Kündgen.
