Abstract
Let f (r) (n; s, k) be the maximum number of edges in an n-vertex r-uniform hypergraph not containing a subhypergraph with k edges on at most s vertices. Recently, Delcourt and Postle, building on work of Glock, Joos, Kim, K¨uhn, Lichev and Pikhurko, proved that the limit limn→∞ n −2f (3)(n; k + 2, k) exists for all k ≥ 2, solving an old problem of Brown, Erd˝os and S´os (1973). Meanwhile, Shangguan and Tamo asked the more general question of determining if the limit limn→∞ n −tf (r) (n; k(r − t) + t, k) exists for all r > t ≥ 2 and k ≥ 2. Here we make progress on their question. For every even k, we determine the value of the limit when r is sufficiently large with respect to k and t. Moreover, we show that the limit exists for k ∈ {5, 7} and all r > t ≥ 2.
