Although this appears to be a basic instance of the hypergraph Tur\\'an problem (with a T-edge matching as the excluded hypergraph), progress on this question has remained elusive. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for all T < N/(3K^2). This improves upon the best previously known range T = O(N/K^3), which dates back to the 1970's.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-09-15T00:18:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05D15", "05D05", "05C35", "05C70", "05C65" ], "keywords": [ "matching number", "hypergraph turan problem", "basic instance", "k-uniform hypergraph", "disjoint edges" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1107.5544H" } } }
