Abstract: In this paper we show that the maximum number of hyperedges in a 3-uniform hypergraph on n vertices without a (Berge) cycle of length five is less than (0.254+o(1))n3/2, improving an estimate of Bollob'as and GyH{o}ri. We obtain this result by showing that not many 3-paths can start from certain subgraphs of the shadow.


The paper improves an earlier upper bound on the number of hyperedges in a 3-uniform hypergraph on \(n\) vertices without Berge cycles of length 5. The proof examines certain subgraphs of the shadow graph.
