On the maximum size of connected hypergraphs without a path of given length

Combinatorics 2017-10-24 v1

Abstract

In this note we asymptotically determine the maximum number of hyperedges possible in an rr-uniform, connected nn-vertex hypergraph without a Berge path of length kk, as nn and kk tend to infinity. We show that, unlike in the graph case, the multiplicative constant is smaller with the assumption of connectivity.
