Some remarks on the extremal function for uniformly two-path dense hypergraphs

Combinatorics 2019-03-05 v2

Abstract

We investigate extremal problems for hypergraphs satisfying the following density condition. A 33-uniform hypergraph H=(V,E)H=(V, E) is (d,η,P2)(d, \eta,P_2)-dense if for any two subsets of pairs PP, QV×VQ\subseteq V\times V the number of pairs ((x,y),(x,z))P×Q((x,y),(x,z))\in P\times Q with {x,y,z}E\{x,y,z\}\in E is at least dKP2(P,Q)ηV3,d|\mathcal{K}_{P_2}(P,Q)|-\eta|V|^3, where KP2(P,Q)\mathcal{K}_{P_2}(P,Q) denotes the set of pairs in P×QP\times Q of the form ((x,y),(x,z))((x,y),(x,z)). For a given 33-uniform hypergraph FF we are interested in the infimum d0d\geq 0 such that for sufficiently small η\eta every sufficiently large (d,η,P2)(d, \eta,P_2)-dense hypergraph HH contains a copy of FF and this infimum will be denoted by πP2(F)\pi_{P_2}(F). We present a few results for the case when F=Kk(3)F=K_k^{(3)} is a complete three uniform hypergraph on kk vertices. It will be shown that πP2(K2r(3))r2r1\pi_{P_2}(K_{2^r}^{(3)})\leq \frac{r-2}{r-1}, which is sharp for r=2,3,4r=2,3,4, where the lower bound for r=4r=4 is based on a result of Chung and Graham [Edge-colored complete graphs with precisely colored subgraphs, Combinatorica 3 (3-4), 315-324].
