Abstract

Recently, several hypergraph Tur\'{a}n problems were solved by the powerful random algebraic method. However, the random algebraic method usually requires some parameters to be very large, hence we are concerned about how these Tur\'{a}n numbers depend on such large parameters of the forbidden hypergraphs. In this paper, we determine the dependence on such specified large constant for several hypergraph Tur\'{a}n problems. More specifically, for complete rr-partite rr-uniform hypergraphs, we show that if srs_{r} is sufficiently larger than s1,s2,,sr1,s_{1},s_{2},\ldots,s_{r-1}, then exr(n,Ks1,s2,,sr(r))=Θ(sr1s1s2sr1nr1s1s2sr1).\textup{ex}_{r}(n,K_{s_{1},s_{2},\ldots,s_{r}}^{(r)})=\Theta(s_{r}^{\frac{1}{s_{1}s_{2}\cdots s_{r-1}}}n^{r-\frac{1}{s_{1}s_{2}\cdots s_{r-1}}}). For complete bipartite rr-uniform hypergraphs, we prove that if ss is sufficiently larger than t,t, we have exr(n,Ks,t(r))=Θ(s1tnr1t).\textup{ex}_{r}(n,K_{s,t}^{(r)})=\Theta(s^{\frac{1}{t}}n^{r-\frac{1}{t}}). In particular, our results imply that the famous K\H{o}v\'{a}ri--S\'{o}s--Tur\'{a}n's upper bound ex(n,Ks,t)=O(t1sn21s)\textup{ex}(n,K_{s,t})=O(t^{\frac{1}{s}}n^{2-\frac{1}{s}}) has the correct dependence on large tt. The main approach is to construct random multi-hypergraph via a variant of random algebraic method.
