Standard monomials for q-uniform families and a conjecture of Babai and Frankl

Gábor Hegedűs, Lajos Rónyai (2003)

Open Mathematics

Let n, k, α be integers, n, α>0, p be a prime and q=p α. Consider the complete q-uniform family k , q = K n : K k ( m o d q ) We study certain inclusion matrices attached to F(k,q) over the field 𝔽 p . We show that if l≤q−1 and 2l≤n then r a n k 𝔽 p I ( ( k , q ) , n ) n This extends a theorem of Frankl [7] obtained for the case α=1. In the proof we use arguments involving Gröbner bases, standard monomials and reduction. As an application, we solve a problem of Babai and Frankl related to the size of some L-intersecting families modulo q.

Subgraph densities in hypergraphs

Yuejian Peng (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let r ≥ 2 be an integer. A real number α ∈ [0,1) is a jump for r if for any ε > 0 and any integer m ≥ r, any r-uniform graph with n > n₀(ε,m) vertices and density at least α+ε contains a subgraph with m vertices and density at least α+c, where c = c(α) > 0 does not depend on ε and m. A result of Erdös, Stone and Simonovits implies that every α ∈ [0,1) is a jump for r = 2. Erdös asked whether the same is true for r ≥ 3. Frankl and Rödl gave a negative answer by showing an infinite sequence...

The Least Eigenvalue of Graphs whose Complements Are Uni- cyclic

Yi Wang, Yi-Zheng Fan, Xiao-Xin Li, Fei-Fei Zhang (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph in a certain graph class is called minimizing if the least eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix attains the minimum among all graphs in that class. Bell et al. have identified a subclass within the connected graphs of order n and size m in which minimizing graphs belong (the complements of such graphs are either disconnected or contain a clique of size n/2 ). In this paper we discuss the minimizing graphs of a special class of graphs of order n whose complements are connected and contains...

Three-and-more set theorems

Pavol Hell, Jaroslav Nešetřil, André Raspaud, Eric Sopena (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we generalize classical 3-set theorem related to stable partitions of arbitrary mappings due to Erdős-de Bruijn, Katětov and Kasteleyn. We consider a structural generalization of this result to partitions preserving sets of inequalities and characterize all finite sets of such inequalities which can be preserved by a “small” coloring. These results are also related to graph homomorphisms and (oriented) colorings.

Turán number of two vertex-disjoint copies of cliques

Caiyun Hu (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The Turán number of a given graph H , denoted by ex ( n , H ) , is the maximum number of edges in an H -free graph on n vertices. Applying a well-known result of Hajnal and Szemerédi, we determine the Turán number ex ( n , K p K q ) of a vertex-disjoint union of cliques K p and K q for all values of n .
