Abstract

Extremal graph theory has a great number of conjectures concerning the embedding of large sparse graphs into dense graphs. Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma is a valuable tool in finding embeddings of small graphs. The Blow-up Lemma, proved recently by Komlós, Sárközy and Szemerédi, can be applied to obtain approximate versions of many of the embedding conjectures. In this paper we review recent developments in the area.
