A well known theorem in graph theory states that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least $d$ contains a path of length at least $d$, and if $G$ is connected and $n\ge 2d+1$ then $G$ contains a path of length at least…

Recently, Berge theta hypergraphs have received special attention due to the similarity with Berge even cycles. Let $r$-uniform Berge theta hypergraph $\Theta_{\ell,t}^{B}$ be the $r$-uniform hypergraph consisting of $t$ internally disjoint…

In this paper, we consider maximum possible value for the sum of cardinalities of hyperedges of a hypergraph without a Berge $4$-cycle. We significantly improve the previous upper bound provided by Gerbner and Palmer. Furthermore, we…

There has been interest recently in maximizing the number of independent sets in graphs. For example, the Kahn-Zhao theorem gives an upper bound on the number of independent sets in a $d$-regular graph. Similarly, it is a corollary of the…

How many edges can a quadrilateral-free subgraph of a hypercube have? This question was raised by Paul Erd\H{o}s about $27$ years ago. His conjecture that such a subgraph asymptotically has at most half the edges of a hypercube is still…

Dirac proved that each $n$-vertex $2$-connected graph with minimum degree at least $k$ contains a cycle of length at least $\min\{2k, n\}$. We consider a hypergraph version of this result. A Berge cycle in a hypergraph is an alternating…

Given $k\ge3$ and $1\leq \ell< k$, an $(\ell,k)$-cycle is one in which consecutive edges, each of size $k$, overlap in exactly $\ell$ vertices. We study the smallest number of edges in $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraphs which do not contain…

The $r$-uniform linear $k$-cycle $C^r_k$ is the $r$-uniform hypergraph on $k(r-1)$ vertices whose edges are sets of $r$ consecutive vertices in a cyclic ordering of the vertex set chosen in such a way that every pair of consecutive edges…

A perfect matching in a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n=3k$ vertices is a subset of $\frac{n}{3}$ disjoint edges. We prove that if $H$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph on $n=3k$ vertices such that every vertex belongs to at least ${n-1\choose 2} -…

We prove that for any linear 3-graph on $n$ vertices without a path of length 5, the number of edges is at most $\frac{15}{11}n$, and the equality holds if and only if the graph is the disjoint union of $G_0$, a graph with 11 vertices and…

In this paper, we develop a method for studying cycle lengths in hypergraphs. Our method is built on earlier ones used in [21,22,18]. However, instead of utilizing the well-known lemma of Bondy and Simonovits [4] that most existing methods…

The Erd\H{o}s--Gallai Theorem states that for $k\geq 3$ every graph on $n$ vertices with more than $\frac{1}{2}(k-1)(n-1)$ edges contains a cycle of length at least $k$. Kopylov proved a strengthening of this result for 2-connected graphs…

Let $m(n,r)$ denote the minimal number of edges in an $n$-uniform hypergraph which is not $r$-colorable. For the broad history of the problem see [RaiSh]. It is known that for a fixed $n$ the sequence \[ \frac{m(n,r)}{r^n} \] has a limit.…

The maximum size of an $r$-uniform hypergraph without a Berge cycle of length at least $k$ has been determined for all $k \ge r+3$ by F\"uredi, Kostochka and Luo and for $k<r$ (and $k=r$, asymptotically) by Kostochka and Luo. In this paper,…

In this paper, we address the following problem due to Frankl and F\"uredi (1984). What is the maximum number of hyperedges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices, such that every set of $r+1$ vertices contains $0$ or exactly $2$…

In this paper, we study the maximum spectral radius of outerplanar $3$-uniform hypergraphs. Given a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$, the shadow of $\mathcal{H}$ is a graph $G$ with $V(G)= V(\mathcal{H})$ and $E(G) = \{uv: uv \in h \textrm{ for…

For $r \ge 2$, an $r$-uniform hypergraph is called a friendship $r$-hypergraph if every set $R$ of $r$ vertices has a unique 'friend' - that is, there exists a unique vertex $x \notin R$ with the property that for each subset $A \subseteq…

Let $H$ be an $n$-vertex 3-uniform hypergraph such that every pair of vertices is in at least $n/3+o(n)$ edges. We show that $H$ contains two vertex-disjoint tight paths whose union covers the vertex set of $H$. The quantity two here is…

Given a graph $G$, a Berge copy of $G$ is a hypergraph obtained by enlarging the edges arbitrarily. Gy\H ori in 2006 showed that for $r=3$ or $r=4$, an $r$-uniform $n$-vertex Berge triangle-free hypergraph has at most $\lfloor…
