On $3$-uniform hypergraphs avoiding a cycle of length four

Abstract

We show that the maximum number of edges in a $3$-uniform hypergraph without a Berge cycle of length four is at most $(1+o(1))\frac{n^{3/2}}{\sqrt{10}}$. This improves earlier estimates by Győri and Lemons and by Füredi and Özkahya.
