Abstract An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered, and a convex geometric hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertex set is cyclically ordered. Extremal problems for ordered and convex geometric graphs have a rich history with applications to a variety of problems in combinatorial geometry. In this paper, we consider analogous extremal problems for uniform hypergraphs, and determine the order of magnitude of the extremal function for various ordered and convex geometric paths and matchings. Our results generalize earlier works of Braß–Károlyi–Valtr, Capoyleas–Pach, and Aronov–Dujmovič–Morin–Ooms-da Silveira. We also provide a new variation of the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem in the ordered setting.more » « less

Gyárfas proved that every coloring of the edges of $$K_n$$ with $t+1$ colors contains a monochromatic connected component of size at least $n/t$. Later, Gyárfás and Sárközy asked for which values of $$\gamma=\gamma(t)$$ does the following strengthening for almost complete graphs hold: if $$G$$ is an $$n$$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $$(1-\gamma)n$$, then every $(t+1)$-edge coloring of $$G$$ contains a monochromatic component of size at least $n/t$. We show $$\gamma= 1/(6t^3)$$ suffices, improving a result of DeBiasio, Krueger, and Sárközy.more » « less

We consider two extremal problems for set systems without long Berge cycles. First we give Dirac-type minimum degree conditions that force long Berge cycles. Next we give an upper bound for the number of hyperedges in a hypergraph with bounded circumference. Both results are best possible in infinitely many cases.more » « less
