Crown-free families and forbidden subposets with

Balázs Patkós, Casey Tompkins

The maximum size of a weak -free family is denoted by . Let denote the maximum integer such that the union of any consecut…

An Improved Lower Bound for Diamond-Free Families

Casey Tompkins

We construct a diamond-free family in the Boolean lattice whose size is asymptotically larger than the union of two middle layers. Denote the diamond poset by and let $La(n,Q…

A note on the extremal number of Berge-

Nika Salia, Casey Tompkins

We improve the known upper bound for the extremal number of Berge--free -uniform hypergraphs. More precisely, we prove that every -vertex -uniform hypergraph with no…

An Erdős-Ko-Rado Theorem for Tilings

Casey Tompkins

We prove an Erdős-Ko-Rado type extremal result for tilings of a chessboard by tiles whose lengths belong to a set . Two tilings are said to intersect if they cont…

An Intersection-Weighted Erdős-Ko-Rado Theorem

Casey Tompkins

We consider an Erdős-Ko-Rado type sum that weights each member of a uniform family according to its smallest intersection with the rest of the family. We prove that once the groun…

Turán-Type Extremal Results for Distance- Graphs

Zhen He, Nika Salia, Casey Tompkins +1

We study Turán-type extremal problems for distance graphs, motivated by work of Csikvári, Bollobás, Tyomkyn, and Uzzell. We determine the maximum number of vertex pairs at dista…
