Given integers $k,j$ with $1le j le k-1$, we consider the length of the longest $j$-tight path in the binomial random $k$-uniform hypergraph $H^k(n,p)$. We show that this length undergoes a phase transition from logarithmic length to linear and determine the critical threshold, as well as proving upper and lower bounds on the length in the subcritical and supercritical ranges. In particular, for the supercritical case we introduce the `Pathfinder algorithm, a depth-first search algorithm which discovers $j$-tight paths in a $k$-uniform hypergraph. We prove that, in the supercritical case, with high probability this algorithm will find a long $j$-tight path.

We prove a lower bound on the length of the longest $j$-tight cycle in a $k$-uniform binomial random hypergraph for any $2 le j le k-1$. We first prove the existence of a $j$-tight path of the required length. The standard sprinkling argument is not enough to show that this path can be closed to a $j$-tight cycle -- we therefore show that the path has many extensions, which is sufficient to allow the sprinkling to close the cycle.
In 1966, Gallai asked whether all longest paths in a connected graph share a common vertex. Counterexamples indicate that this is not true in general. However, Gallais question is positive for certain well-known classes of connected graphs, such as split graphs, interval graphs, circular arc graphs, outerplanar graphs, and series-parallel graphs. A graph is $2K_2$-free if it does not contain two independent edges as an induced subgraph. In this paper, we show that in nonempty $2K_2$-free graphs, every vertex of maximum degree is common to all longest paths. Our result implies that all longest paths in a nonempty $2K_2$-free graph have a nonempty intersection. In particular, it gives a new proof for the result on split graphs, as split graphs are $2K_2$-free.
We generalize a result of Balister, Gy{H{o}}ri, Lehel and Schelp for hypergraphs. We determine the unique extremal structure of an $n$-vertex, $r$-uniform, connected, hypergraph with the maximum number of hyperedges, without a $k$-Berge-path, where $n geq N_{k,r}$, $kgeq 2r+13>17$.
In 1999, Katona and Kierstead conjectured that if a $k$-uniform hypergraph $cal H$ on $n$ vertices has minimum co-degree $lfloor frac{n-k+3}{2}rfloor$, i.e., each set of $k-1$ vertices is contained in at least $lfloor frac{n-k+3}{2}rfloor$ edges, then it has a Hamiltonian cycle. R{o}dl, Ruci{n}ski and Szemer{e}di in 2011 proved that the conjecture is true when $k=3$ and $n$ is large. We show that this Katona-Kierstead conjecture holds if $k=4$, $n$ is large, and $V({cal H})$ has a partition $A$, $B$ such that $|A|=lceil n/2rceil$, $|{ein E({cal H}):|e cap A|=2}| <epsilon n^4$.
Given $kge 2$ and two $k$-graphs ($k$-uniform hypergraphs) $F$ and $H$, an $F$-factor in $H$ is a set of vertex disjoint copies of $F$ that together covers the vertex set of $H$. Lenz and Mubayi [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2016] studied the $F$-factor problem in quasi-random $k$-graphs with minimum degree $Omega(n^{k-1})$. They posed the problem of characterizing the $k$-graphs $F$ such that every sufficiently large quasi-random $k$-graph with constant edge density and minimum degree $Omega(n^{k-1})$ contains an $F$-factor, and in particular, they showed that all linear $k$-graphs satisfy this property. In this paper we prove a general theorem on $F$-factors which reduces the $F$-factor problem of Lenz and Mubayi to a natural sub-problem, that is, the $F$-cover problem. By using this result, we answer the question of Lenz and Mubayi for those $F$ which are $k$-partite $k$-graphs, and for all 3-graphs $F$, separately. Our characterization result on 3-graphs is motivated by the recent work of Reiher, Rodl and Schacht [J. Lond. Math. Soc., 2018] that classifies the 3-graphs with vanishing Turan density in quasi-random $k$-graphs.
