Abstract: Let mathcalF be a family of r-uniform hypergraphs. The feasible region Omega(mathcalF) of mathcalF is the set of points (x,y) in the unit square such that there exists a sequence of mathcalF-free r-uniform hypergraphs whose edge density approaches x and whose shadow density approaches y. The feasible region provides a lot of combinatorial information, for example, the supremum of y over all (x,y)inOmega(mathcalF) is the Tur'{a}n density pi(mathcalF), and Omega(emptyset) gives the Kruskal-Katona theorem. We undertake a systematic study of Omega(mathcalF), and prove that Omega(mathcalF) is completely determined by a left-continuous almost everywhere differentiable function; and moreover, there exists an mathcalF for which this function is not continuous. We also extend some old related theorems. For example, we generalize a result of Fisher and Ryan to hypergraphs and extend a classical result of Bollob'as by almost completely determining the feasible region for cancellative triple systems.
