Vertex Tur\'an problems for the oriented hypercube

Combinatorics 2018-07-19 v1

Abstract

In this short note we consider the oriented vertex Tur\'an problem in the hypercube: for a fixed oriented graph F\overrightarrow{F}, determine the maximum size exv(F,Qn)ex_v(\overrightarrow{F}, \overrightarrow{Q_n}) of a subset UU of the vertices of the oriented hypercube Qn\overrightarrow{Q_n} such that the induced subgraph Qn[U]\overrightarrow{Q_n}[U] does not contain any copy of F\overrightarrow{F}. We obtain the exact value of exv(Pk,Qn)ex_v(\overrightarrow{P_k}, \overrightarrow{Q_n}) for the directed path Pk\overrightarrow{P_k}, the exact value of exv(V2,Qn)ex_v(\overrightarrow{V_2}, \overrightarrow{Q_n}) for the directed cherry V2\overrightarrow{V_2} and the asymptotic value of exv(T,Qn)ex_v(\overrightarrow{T}, \overrightarrow{Q_n}) for any directed tree T\overrightarrow{T}.
