An approximate vertex-isoperimetric inequality for \(r\)-sets




Abstract: We prove a vertex-isoperimetric inequality for [n]^(r), the set of all r-element subsets of {1,2,...,n}, where x,y in [n]^(r) are adjacent if |x Delta y|=2. Namely, if mathcal{A} subset [n]^(r) with |mathcal{A}|=alpha {n choose r}, then the vertex-boundary b(mathcal{A}) satisfies |b(mathcal{A})| geq csqrt{frac{n}{r(n-r)}} alpha(1-alpha) {n choose r}, where c is a positive absolute constant. For alpha bounded away from 0 and 1, this is sharp up to a constant factor (independent of n and r).
