Three-graphs without two triples whose symmetric difference is contained in a third

Abstract

Katona conjectured that if a three-graph has 3n vertices and n3+1 triples, then there are two triples whose symmetric difference is contained in a third triple. This conjecture can be considered as a natural generalization of Turán's theorem [4] for edge graphs. The aim of this note is to prove this conjecture. © 1974.
