In 1941, Turan conjectured that the edge density of any 3-graph without independent sets on 4 vertices (Turan (3,4)-graph) is >= 4/9(1-o(1)), and he gave the first example witnessing this bound. Brown (1983) and Kostochka (1982) found many…

We consider the Tur\'an problems of $2$-edge-colored graphs. A $2$-edge-colored graph $H=(V, E_r, E_b)$ is a triple consisting of the vertex set $V$, the set of red edges $E_r$ and the set of blue edges $E_b$ with $E_r$ and $E_b$ do not…

For a fixed positive integer $n$ and an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$, the Tur\'an number $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in an $H$-free $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices, and the Lagrangian density of $H$ is defined as…

Let $C^{2k}_r$ be the $2k$-uniform hypergraph obtained by letting $P_1,...,P_r$ be pairwise disjoint sets of size $k$ and taking as edges all sets $P_i \cup P_j$ with $i \neq j$. This can be thought of as the `$k$-expansion' of the complete…

The codegree Tur\'an density $\gamma(F)$ of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $F$ is the minimum real number $\gamma \ge 0$ such that every $k$-uniform hypergraph on sufficiently many $n$ vertices, in which every set of $k-1$ vertices is contained…

An $r$-uniform graph $G$ is dense if and only if every proper subgraph $G'$ of $G$ satisfies $\lambda (G') < \lambda (G)$, where $\lambda (G)$ is the Lagrangian of a hypergraph $G$. In 1980's, Sidorenko showed that $\pi(F)$, the Tur\'an…

For positive integers $n\ge s> r$, the Tur\'an function $T(n,s,r)$ is the smallest size of an r-graph with n vertices such that every set of s vertices contains at least one edge. Also, define the Tur\'an density $t(s,r)$ as the limit of…

For integers $q\ge p\ge r\ge2$, we say that an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ has property $(q,p)$, if for any $q$-vertex subset $Q$ of $V(H)$, there exists a $p$-vertex subset $P$ of $Q$ spanning a clique in $H$. Let $T_{r}(n,q,p)=\min\{ e(H):…

In the early 1980s, Erd\H{o}s and S\'os initiated the study of the classical Tur\'an problem with a uniformity condition: the uniform Tur\'an density of a hypergraph $H$ is the infimum over all $d$ for which any sufficiently large…
