Frankl and F\"uredi conjectured in 1989 that the maximum Lagrangian of all $r$-uniform hypergraphs of fixed size $m$ is realised by the initial segment of the colexicographic order. In particular, in the principal case $m=\binom{t}{r}$…

A well-known conjecture of Frankl and F\"{u}redi from 1989 states that an initial segment of colex of has the largest Lagrangian of any $r$-uniform hypergraph with $m$ hyperedges. We show that this is true when $r=3$. We also give a new…

The Lagrangian of a hypergraph has been a useful tool in hypergraph extremal problems. In most applications, we need an upper bound for the Lagrangian of a hypergraph. Frankl and Furedi in \cite{FF} conjectured that the $r$-graph with $m$…

Frankl and F\"uredi conjectured in 1989 that the maximum Lagrangian, denoted by $\lambda_r(m)$, among all $r$-uniform hypergraphs of fixed size $m$ is achieved by the minimum hypergraph $C_{r,m}$ under the colexicographic order. We say $m$…

There is a remarkable connection between the clique number and the Lagrangian of a 2-graph proved by Motzkin and Straus in 1965. It is useful in practice if similar results hold for hypergraphs. However the obvious generalization of Motzkin…

There is a remarkable connection between the maximum clique number and the Lagrangian of a graph given by T. S. Motzkin and E.G. Straus in 1965. This connection and its extensions were successfully employed in optimization to provide…

Let $r\geq3$ and $G$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph with vertex set $\left\{ 1,\ldots,n\right\} $ and edge set $E$. Let \[ \mu\left( G\right) :=\max {\textstyle\sum\limits_{\left\{ i_{1},\ldots,i_{r}\right\} \in E}} x_{i_{1}}\cdots x_{i_{r}},…

A remarkable connection between the order of a maximum clique and the Graph-Lagrangian of a graph was established by Motzkin and Straus in 1965. This connection and its extension were useful in both combinatorics and optimization. Since…

Let $r,k,\ell$ be integers such that $0\le\ell\le\binom{k}{r}$. Given a large $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$, we consider the fraction of $k$-vertex subsets which span exactly $\ell$ edges. If $\ell$ is 0 or $\binom{k}{r}$, this fraction can be…

The extension of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$ is obtained from it by adding for every pair of vertices of $G$, which is not covered by an edge in $G$, an extra edge containing this pair and $(r-2)$ new vertices. In this paper we determine…

A well-known theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai asserts that a graph with no path of length $k$ contains at most $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)n$ edges. Recently Gy\H{o}ri, Katona and Lemons gave an extension of this result to hypergraphs by determining…

Ryser's Conjecture states that any $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraph has a vertex cover of size at most $r - 1$ times the size of the largest matching. For $r = 2$, the conjecture is simply K\"onig's Theorem and every bipartite graph is a…

The Lagrangian density of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $F$ is $r!$ multiplying the supremum of the Lagrangians of all $F$-free $r$-uniform hypergraphs. For an $r$-graph $H$ with $t$ vertices, it is clear that $\pi_{\lambda}(H)\ge…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s asserts that for $k\ge 3$, the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph without $s+1$ pairwise disjoint edges is $\max\{\binom{n}{k}-\binom{n-s}{k},\binom{sk+k-1}{k}\}$. This problem…
