Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph. The \emph{minimum positive co-degree} of $\mathcal{H}$, denoted by $\delta_{r-1}^+(\mathcal{H})$, is the minimum $k$ such that if $S$ is an $(r-1)$-set contained in a hyperedge of…

Given $r$-uniform hypergraphs $G$ and $H$ the Tur\'an number $\rm ex(G, H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $H$-free subgraph of $G$. We study the typical value of $\rm ex(G, H)$ when $G=G_{n,p}^{(r)}$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random…

Erd\H{o}s determined the maximum size of a nonhamiltonian graph of order $n$ and minimum degree at least $k$ in 1962. Recently, Ning and Peng generalized. Erd\H{o}s' work and gave the maximum size $h(n,c,k)$ of graphs with prescribed order…

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…

Consider a $3$-uniform hypergraph of order $n$ with clique number $k$ such that the intersection of all its $k$-cliques is empty. Szemer\'edi and Petruska proved $n\leq 8m^2+3m$, for fixed $m=n-k$, and they conjectured the sharp bound…

Let $H=(V,E)$ be a hypergraph, where $V$ is a set of vertices and $E$ is a set of non-empty subsets of $V$ called edges. If all edges of $H$ have the same cardinality $r$, then $H$ is a $r$-uniform hypergraph; if $E$ consists of all…

In this note, we study the emergence of Hamiltonian Berge cycles in random $r$-uniform hypergraphs. For $r\geq 3$, we prove an optimal stopping-time result that if edges are sequently added to an initially empty $r$-graph, then as soon as…

Let $F = (U,E)$ be a graph and $\mathcal{H} = (V,\mathcal{E})$ be a hypergraph. We say that $\mathcal{H}$ contains a Berge-$F$ if there exist injections $\psi:U\to V$ and $\varphi:E\to \mathcal{E}$ such that for every $e=\{u,v\}\in E$,…

Answering a question of H\"aggkvist and Scott, Verstra\"ete proved that every sufficiently large graph with average degree at least $k^2+19k+10$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles of consecutive even lengths. He further conjectured that…

Bondy and Vince proved that a graph of minimum degree at least three contains two cycles whose lengths differ by one or two, which was conjectured by Erd\H{o}s. Gao, Li, Ma and Xie gave an average degree counterpart of Bondy-Vince's result,…

We give lower bounds on the maximum possible girth of an $r$-uniform, $d$-regular hypergraph with at most $n$ vertices, using the definition of a hypergraph cycle due to Berge. These differ from the trivial upper bound by an absolute…

An $r$-cut of a $k$-uniform hypergraph is a partition of its vertex set into $r$ parts, and the size of the cut is the number of edges which have at least one vertex in each part. The study of the possible size of the largest $r$-cut in a…

Let $f^{(r)}(n;s,k)$ be the maximum number of edges of an $r$-uniform hypergraph on~$n$ vertices not containing a subgraph with $k$~edges and at most $s$~vertices. In 1973, Brown, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os conjectured that the limit $$\lim_{n\to…

A Berge cycle of length $\ell$ in a hypergraph is an alternating sequence of $\ell$ distinct vertices and $\ell$ distinct edges $v_1,e_1,v_2, \ldots, v_\ell, e_{\ell}$ such that $\{v_i, v_{i+1}\} \subseteq e_i$ for all $i$, with indices…

For $r \geq 2$, we show that every maximal $K_{r+1}$-free graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $(1-\frac{1}{r})\frac{n^2}{2}-o(n^{\frac{r+1}{r}})$ edges contains a complete $r$-partite subgraph on $(1 - o(1))n$ vertices. We also show that this is…

We explore properties of $3$-uniform hypergraphs $H$ without linear cycles. Our main results are that these hypergraphs must contain a vertex of strong degree at most two and must have independent sets of size at least ${2|V(H)|\over 5}$.
