线性$3$ -图的冠

Crowns in linear $3$-graphs

摘要:

一个\textit{linear $3$-graph},$H = (V, E)$,是一个顶点集$V$和一个$3$元素子集集$E$,$3$是$V$的元素子集,称为边,使得任何两个不同的边至多相交于一个顶点。线性图兰数,${\rm ex}(n,F)$,是线性$3$ -图$H$中的最大边数,其中$n$顶点不包含$F$的副本。我们在这里集中在\textit{crown},$C$,它由三个成对不相交的边缘(宝石)和第四个边缘(基地)相交的所有宝石。我们的主要结果是:每个最小度至少为$4$的线性$3$ -图都有一个冠。如果$4$被$3$取代,则不会出现这种情况。事实上,已知的图兰数的界限是\[ 6 \left\lfloor{\frac{n - 3}{4}}\right\rfloor \leq {\rm ex}(n, C) \leq 2n, \],在提供下界的构造中,除了三个顶点外,所有顶点的度都是$3$。我们推测,${\rm ex}(n, C) \sim \frac{3n}{2}$,但即使这是已知的,它不会暗示我们的主要结果。我们的第二个结果是朝着${\rm ex}(n,C) \leq \frac{3n}{2}$的可能证明迈出的一步(即,在恒定误差内确定它)。我们表明,这一声明的一个最小的反例必须包含一定的配置与$9$边缘,我们猜想,所有这些导致矛盾。

英文摘要:

A \textit{linear $3$-graph}, $H = (V, E)$, is a set, $V$, of vertices together with a set, $E$, of $3$-element subsets of $V$, called edges, so that any two distinct edges intersect in at most one vertex. The linear Turán number, ${\rm ex}(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges in a linear $3$-graph $H$ with $n$ vertices containing no copy of $F$. We focus here on the \textit{crown}, $C$, which consists of three pairwise disjoint edges (jewels) and a fourth edge (base) which intersects all of the jewels. Our main result is that every linear $3$-graph with minimum degree at least $4$ contains a crown. This is not true if $4$ is replaced by $3$. In fact the known bounds of the Turán number are \[ 6 \left\lfloor{\frac{n - 3}{4}}\right\rfloor \leq {\rm ex}(n, C) \leq 2n, \] and in the construction providing the lower bound all but three vertices have degree $3$. We conjecture that ${\rm ex}(n, C) \sim \frac{3n}{2}$ but even if this were known it would not imply our main result. Our second result is a step towards a possible proof of ${\rm ex}(n,C) \leq \frac{3n}{2}$ (i.e., determining it within a constant error). We show that a minimal counterexample to this statement must contain certain configurations with $9$ edges and we conjecture that all of them lead to contradiction.
