Let $F$ be a strictly balanced $r$-uniform hypergraph with $e>2$ edges and $r$-density $m$. We give a new short proof of the fact that the Tur\'an number $\ex(n, F)$ is greater than $c\, n^{r-1/m} (\log n)^{1/(e-1)}$ where $c$ depends only…

The Tur\'an hypergraph problem asks to find the maximum number of $r$-edges in a $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a clique of size $a$. When $r=2$, i.e., for graphs, the answer is well-known and can be found in…

For a graph $H$, the {\em extremal number} $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ not containing a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $\delta(H)>0$ and $\Delta(H)$ denote the minimum degree and maximum degree of $H$,…

In this paper we confirm a conjecture of F\"uredi, Jiang, and Seiver, and determine an exact formula for the Tur\'an number $ex_3(n; P_3^3)$ of the 3-uniform linear path $P^3_3$ of length 3, valid for all $n$. It coincides with the…

We consider the hypergraph Tur\'an problem of determining $\mathrm{ex}(n, S^d)$, the maximum number of facets in a $d$-dimensional simplicial complex on $n$ vertices that does not contain a simplicial $d$-sphere (a homeomorph of $S^d$) as a…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph is called $t$-cancellative if for any $t+2$ distinct edges $A_1,\ldots,A_t,B,C$, it holds that $(\cup_{i=1}^t A_i)\cup B\neq (\cup_{i=1}^t A_i)\cup C$. It is called $t$-union-free if for any two distinct subsets…

The Tur\'an number $\text{ex}(n,H)$ of a graph $H$ is the maximal number of edges in an $H$-free graph on $n$ vertices. In $1983$ Chung and Erd\H{o}s asked which graphs $H$ with $e$ edges minimize $\text{ex}(n,H)$. They resolved this…

Let $F$ be a graph. A hypergraph is called Berge-$F$ if it can be obtained by replacing each edge of $F$ by a hyperedge containing it. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of graphs. The Tur\'an number of Berge-$\mathcal{F}$ is the maximum…
