On Lagrangians of Hypergraphs Containing Dense Subgraphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motzkin and Straus established a remarkable connection between the maximum clique and the Lagrangian of a graph in 1965. This connection and its extensions were successfully employed in optimization to provide heuristics for the maximum clique number in graphs. It is useful in practice if similar results hold for hypergraphs. In this paper, we provide upper bounds on the Lagrangian of a hypergraph containing dense subgraphs when the number of edges of the hypergraph is in certain ranges. These results support a pair of conjectures introduced by Y. Peng and C. Zhao (2012) and extend a result of J. Talbot (2002).

Supersaturated graphs and hypergraphs
We shall consider graphs (hypergraphs) without loops and multiple edges . Let Ybe a family of so called prohibited graphs and ex (n, Y) denote the maximum number of edges (hyperedges) a graph (hypergraph) on n vertices can have without containing subgraphs from Y A graph (hypergraph) will be called supersaturated if it has more edges than ex (n, Y). If G has n vertices and ex (n, Y)=k edges (hy...
متن کاملComplete Partite subgraphs in dense hypergraphs
For a given r-uniform hypergraph F we study the largest blow-up of F which can be guaranteed in every large r-uniform hypergraph with many copies of F . For graphs this problem was addressed by Nikiforov, who proved that every n-vertex graph that contains Ω(n`) copies of the complete graph K` must contain a complete `-partite graph with Ω(logn) vertices in each class. We give another proof of N...
متن کاملOn Spanning Structures in Random Hypergraphs
In this note we adapt a general result of Riordan [Spanning subgraphs of random graphs, Combinatorics, Probability & Computing 9 (2000), no. 2, 125–148] from random graphs to random r-uniform hypergaphs. We also discuss several spanning structures such as cube-hypergraphs, lattices, spheres and Hamilton cycles in hypergraphs.
متن کامل1 - Introduction to hypergraphs
We begin with an introduction to hypergraphs, which gives a taste of different representations of hypergraphs, linear hypergraphs, and Turán-type problems, including existence of Turán densities and classification of zero Turán densities. Thereafter we delve deeper into some of the classical theorems of hypergraph theory, including various theorems on intersecting families such as Sperner’s The...
متن کاملDecompositions into Subgraphs of Small Diameter
We investigate decompositions of a graph into a small number of low diameter subgraphs. Let P (n, 2, d) be the smallest k such that every graph G = (V, E) on n vertices has an edge partition E = E0 ∪ E1 ∪ . . . ∪ Ek such that |E0| ≤ 2n and for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k the diameter of the subgraph spanned by Ei is at most d. Using Szemerédi’s regularity lemma, Polcyn and Ruciński showed that P (n, 2, 4) is...
