Unavoidable order-size pairs in hypergraphs -- positive forcing density

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: ErdH{o}s, F"uredi, Rothschild and S'os initiated a study of classes of graphs that forbid every induced subgraph on a given number m of vertices and number f of edges. Extending their notation to r-graphs, we write (n,e)or(m,f) if every r-graph G on n vertices with e edges has an induced subgraph on m vertices and f edges. The emph{forcing density} of a pair (m,f) is sigma_r(m,f) =left. limsuplimits_{n o infty} frac{|{e : (n,e) o_r (m,f)}|}{�inom{n}{r}} ight. . In the graph setting it is known that there are infinitely many pairs (m,f) with positive forcing density. Weber asked if there is a pair of positive forcing density for rgeq3 apart from the trivial ones (m,0) and . Answering her question, we show that (6,10) is such a pair for r=3 and conjecture that it is the unique such pair. Further, we find necessary conditions for a pair to have positive forcing density, supporting this conjecture.
