Forbidden Berge hypergraphs

Abstract: A emph{simple} matrix is a (0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. For a (0,1)-matrix F, we say that a (0,1)-matrix A has F as a emph{Berge hypergraph} if there is a submatrix B of A and some row and column permutation of F, say G, with GleB. Letting ||A|| denote the number of columns in A, we define the extremal function Bh(m,F)=max||A||,:,AhboxismhboxrowedsimplematrixwithnoBergehypergraphF. We determine the asymptotics of Bh(m,F) for all 3- and 4-rowed F and most 5-rowed F. For certain F, this becomes the problem of determining the maximum number of copies of Kr in a m-vertex graph that has no Ks,t subgraph, a problem studied by Alon and Shinkleman.
