Author(s): Kühn; Osthus

Problem   Let $ H_1 $ and $ H_2 $ be two $ r $-uniform hypergraph on the same vertex set $ V $. Does there always exist a partition of $ V $ into $ r $ classes $ V_1, \dots , V_r $ such that for both $ i=1,2 $, at least $ r!m_i/r^r -o(m_i) $ hyperedges of $ H_i $ meet each of the classes $ V_1, \dots , V_r $?

Turán number of a finite family. ★★

Author(s): Erdos; Simonovits

Given a finite family $ {\cal F} $ of graphs and an integer $ n $, the Turán number $ ex(n,{\cal F}) $ of $ {\cal F} $ is the largest integer $ m $ such that there exists a graph on $ n $ vertices with $ m $ edges which contains no member of $ {\cal F} $ as a subgraph.

Conjecture   For every finite family $ {\cal F} $ of graphs there exists an $ F\in {\cal F} $ such that $ ex(n, F ) = O(ex(n, {\cal F})) $ .
