Abstract

An rr-uniform hypergraph is linear if every two edges intersect in at most one vertex. The rr-expansion FrF^{r} of a graph FF is the rr-uniform hypergraph obtained from FF by enlarging each edge of FF with a vertex subset of size r2r-2 disjoint from the vertex set of FF such that distinct edges are enlarged by disjoint subsets. Let exrlin(n,Fr)ex_{r}^{lin}(n,F^{r}) and spexrlin(n,Fr)spex_{r}^{lin}(n,F^{r}) be the maximum number of edges and the maximum spectral radius of all FrF^{r}-free linear rr-uniform hypergraphs with nn vertices, respectively. In this paper, we present the sharp (or asymptotic) bounds of exrlin(n,Fr)ex_{r}^{lin}( n,F^{r}) and spexrlin(n,Fr)spex_{r}^{lin}(n,F^{r}) by establishing the connection between the spectral radii of linear hypergraphs and those of their shadow graphs, where FF is a (k+1)(k+1)-color critical graph or a graph with chromatic number kk.
