Abstract: A hypergraph is simple if it has no loops and no repeated edges, and a hypergraph is linear if it is simple and each pair of edges intersects in at most one vertex. For ngeq3, let r=r(n)geq3 be an integer and let be a vector of nonnegative integers, where each kj=kj(n) may depend on n. Let M=M(n)=sumj=1nkj for all ngeq3, and define the set mathcalI=ngeq3midr(n)extdividesM(n). We assume that mathcalI is infinite, and perform asymptotics as n tends to infinity along mathcalI. Our main result is an asymptotic enumeration formula for linear r-uniform hypergraphs with degree sequence . This formula holds whenever the maximum degree kmax satisfies r4kmax4(kmax+r)=o(M). Our approach is to work with the incidence matrix of a hypergraph, interpreted as the biadjacency matrix of a bipartite graph, enabling us to apply known enumeration results for bipartite graphs. This approach also leads to a new asymptotic enumeration formula for simple uniform hypergraphs with specified degrees, and a result regarding the girth of random bipartite graphs with specified degrees.
