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 ErdÅs-Ko-Rado Theorem for Tilings
Casey Tompkins
We prove an ErdÅs-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 ErdÅs-Ko-Rado Theorem
Casey Tompkins
We consider an ErdÅs-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…
