On 2-connected hypergraphs with no long cycles

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We give an upper bound for the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex 2-connected r-uniform hypergraph with no Berge cycle of length k or greater, where ngeqkgeq4rgeq12. For n large with respect to r and k, this bound is sharp and is significantly stronger than the bound without restrictions on connectivity. It turned out that it is simpler to prove the bound for the broader class of Sperner families where the size of each set is at most r. For such families, our bound is sharp for all ngeqkgeqrgeq3.


Summary: We give an upper bound for the maximum number of edges in an \(n\)-vertex 2-connected \(r\)-uniform hypergraph with no Berge cycle of length \(k\) or greater, where \(n\ge k \ge 4r\ge 12\). For \(n\) large with respect to \(r\) and \(k\), this bound is sharp and is significantly stronger than the bound without restrictions on connectivity. It turned out that it is simpler to prove the bound for the broader class of Sperner families where the size of each set is at most \(r\). For such families, our bound is sharp for all \(n\ge k\geq r\ge 3\).
