On Turán problems for Berge forests
For a graph F, an r-uniform hypergraph H is a Berge-F if there is a bijection ϕ:E(F)rightarrow E(H) such that esubseteq ϕ(e) for each ein E(F). Given a family F of r-uniform hypergraphs, an r-uniform hypergraph is F-free if it does not contain any member in F as a subhypergraph. The Turán number of F is the maximum number of hyperedges in an F-free r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices. In this paper, some exact and general results on the Turán numbers for several types of Berge forests are obtained.
