Let I^k consist of all possible Tur\\'an densities and let F^k be the set of Tur\\'an densities of finite k-graph families. Here we prove that F^k contains every density obtained from an arbitrary finite construction by optimally blowing it up and using recursion inside the specified set of parts. As an application, we show that F^k contains an irrational number for each k\\ge 3. Also, we show that I^k has cardinality of the continuum. In particular, I^k is not equal to F^k.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-04-19T10:05:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05D05", "05C65" ], "keywords": [ "turan density", "arbitrary finite construction", "finite k-graph families", "maximum edge density", "irrational number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.4423P" } } }
