Five Topics in Extremal and Structural Graph Theory

Abstract

dc:description

The Friendship Theorem states that if G is a graph in which every two vertices have exactly one common neighbor, then G has a dominating vertex. Sos defined an analogous friendship property for 3-uniform hypergraphs, and constructed a family satisfying it. We present additional 3-uniform hypergraphs on 8, 16, and 32 vertices that satisfy this property that were obtained using integer programming. No examples outside the family construct by Sos were previously known.
