The Turán density problem for hypergraphs

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Given a k-graph H a complete blow-up of H is a k-graph hatH formed by replacing each vinV(H) by a non-empty vertex class Av and then inserting all edges between any k vertex classes corresponding to an edge of H. Given a subgraph GsubseteqhatH and an edge einE(H) we define the density de(G) to be the proportion of edges present in G between the classes corresponding to e. The density Tur'an problem for H asks: determine the minimal value dcrit(H) such that any subgraph GsubseteqhatH satisfying de(G)>dcrit(H) for every einE(H) contains a copy of H as a transversal, i.e. a copy of H meeting each vertex class of hatH exactly once. We give upper bounds for this hypergraph density Tur'an problem that generalise the known bounds for the case of graphs due to Csikv'ari and Nagy, [Combinatorics, Probability and Computing, 21(4):531-553, 2012] although our methods are different, employing an entropy compression argument.
