Let $P$ denote a 3-uniform hypergraph consisting of 7 vertices $a,b,c,d,e,f,g$ and 3 edges ${a,b,c}, {c,d,e},$ and ${e,f,g}$. It is known that the $r$-color Ramsey number for $P$ is $R(P;r)=r+6$ for $rle 9$. The proof of this result relies on a careful analysis of the Turan numbers for $P$. In this paper, we refine this analysis further and compute the fifth order Turan number for $P$, for all $n$. Using this number for $n=16$, we confirm the formula $R(P;10)=16$.
Given a hypergraph $H$, the size-Ramsey number $hat{r}_2(H)$ is the smallest integer $m$ such that there exists a graph $G$ with $m$ edges with the property that in any colouring of the edges of $G$ with two colours there is a monochromatic copy of $H$. We prove that the size-Ramsey number of the $3$-uniform tight path on $n$ vertices $P^{(3)}_n$ is linear in $n$, i.e., $hat{r}_2(P^{(3)}_n) = O(n)$. This answers a question by Dudek, Fleur, Mubayi, and Rodl for $3$-uniform hypergraphs [On the size-Ramsey number of hypergraphs, J. Graph Theory 86 (2016), 417-434], who proved $hat{r}_2(P^{(3)}_n) = O(n^{3/2} log^{3/2} n)$.
The Turan number of a graph H, ex(n,H), is the maximum number of edges in a graph on n vertices which does not have H as a subgraph. Let P_k be the path with k vertices, the square P^2_k of P_k is obtained by joining the pairs of vertices with distance one or two in P_k. The powerful theorem of ErdH{o}s, Stone and Simonovits determines the asymptotic behavior of ex(n,P^2_k). In the present paper, we determine the exact value of ex(n,P^2_5) and ex(n,P^2_6) and pose a conjecture for the exact value of ex(n,P^2_k).
The Turan number of a graph $H$, denoted by $text{ex}(n, H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph that does not have $H$ as a subgraph. Let $TP_k$ be the triangular pyramid of $k$-layers. In this paper, we determine that $text{ex}(n,TP_3)= frac{1}{4}n^2+n+o(n)$ and pose a conjecture for $text{ex}(n,TP_4)$.
The Turan number of a graph $H$, denoted by $ex(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in any graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $P_{k}$ denote the path on $k$ vertices and let $mP_{k}$ denote $m$ disjoint copies of $P_{k}$. Bushaw and Kettle [Tur{a}n numbers of multiple paths and equibipartite forests, Combin. Probab. Comput. 20(2011) 837--853] determined the exact value of $ex(n,kP_ell)$ for large values of $n$. Yuan and Zhang [The Tur{a}n number of disjoint copies of paths, Discrete Math. 340(2)(2017) 132--139] completely determined the value of $ex(n,kP_3)$ for all $n$, and also determined $ex(n,F_m)$, where $F_m$ is the disjoint union of $m$ paths containing at most one odd path. They also determined the exact value of $ex(n,P_3cup P_{2ell+1})$ for $ngeq 2ell+4$. Recently, Bielak and Kieliszek [The Tur{a}n number of the graph $2P_5$, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 36(2016) 683--694], Yuan and Zhang [Tur{a}n numbers for disjoint paths, arXiv: 1611.00981v1] independently determined the exact value of $ex(n,2P_5)$. In this paper, we show that $ex(n,2P_{7})=max{[n,14,7],5n-14}$ for all $n ge 14$, where $[n,14,7]=(5n+91+r(r-6))/2$, $n-13equiv r,(text{mod }6)$ and $0leq r< 6$.
Let $F$ be a graph. The planar Turan number of $F$, denoted by $text{ex}_{mathcal{P}}(n,F)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex planar graph containing no copy of $F$ as a subgraph. Let $Theta_k$ denote the family of Theta graphs on $kgeq 4$ vertices, that is, a graph obtained by joining a pair of non-consecutive vertices of a $k$-cycle with an edge. Y. Lan, et.al. determined sharp upper bound for $text{ex}_{mathcal{P}}(n,Theta_4)$ and $text{ex}_{mathcal{P}}(n,Theta_5)$. Moreover, they obtained an upper bound for $text{ex}_{mathcal{P}}(n,Theta_6)$. They proved that, $text{ex}_{mathcal{P}}(n,Theta_6)leq frac{18}{7}n-frac{36}{7}$. In this paper, we improve their result by giving a bound which is sharp. In particular, we prove that $text{ex}_{mathcal{P}}(n,Theta_6)leq frac{18}{7}n-frac{48}{7}$ and demonstrate that there are infinitely many $n$ for which there exists a $Theta_6$-free planar graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, which attains the bound.
