Abstract

We study a variant of the Erd\H{o}s Matching Problem in random hypergraphs. Let Kp(n,k)\mathcal{K}_p(n,k) denote the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random kk-uniform hypergraph on nn vertices where each possible edge is included with probability pp. We show that when nk2sn\gg k^{2}s and pp is not too small, with high probability, the maximum number of edges in a sub-hypergraph of Kp(n,k)\mathcal{K}_p(n,k) with matching number ss is obtained by the trivial sub-hypergraphs, i.e. the sub-hypergraph consisting of all edges containing at least one vertex in a fixed set of ss vertices.
