Abstract: An {em ordered r-graph} is an r-uniform hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered. Given 2leqkleqr, an ordered r-graph H is {em interval} k-{em partite} if there exist at least k disjoint intervals in the ordering such that every edge of H has nonempty intersection with each of the intervals and is contained in their union. Our main result implies that for each alpha>k1 and d>0, every n-vertex ordered r-graph with d,nalpha edges has for some mleqn an m-vertex interval k-partite subgraph with Omega(d,malpha) edges. This is an extension to ordered r-graphs of the observation by ErdH os and Kleitman that every r-graph contains an r-partite subgraph with a constant proportion of the edges. The restriction alpha>k1 is sharp. We also present applications of the main result to several extremal problems for ordered hypergraphs.
