Vertex Turán problems for the oriented hypercube
Abstract In this short note we consider the oriented vertex Turán problem in the hypercube: for a fixed oriented graph F → \vec F , determine the maximum cardinality e x v ( F → , Q → n ) e{x_v}\left( {\vec F,{{\vec Q}_n}} \right) of a subset U of the vertices of the oriented hypercube Q → n {\vec Q_n} such that the induced subgraph Q → n [ U ] {\vec Q_n}\left[ U \right] does not contain any copy of F → \vec F . We obtain the exact value of e x v ( P k , → Q n → ) e{x_v}\left( {\overrightarrow {{P_k},} \,\overrightarrow {{Q_n}} } \right) for the directed path P k → \overrightarrow {{P_k}} , the exact value of e x v ( V 2 → , Q n → ) e{x_v}\left( {\overrightarrow {{V_2}} ,\,\overrightarrow {{Q_n}} } \right) for the directed cherry V 2 → \overrightarrow {{V_2}} and the asymptotic value of e x v ( T → , Q n → ) e{x_v}\left( {\overrightarrow T ,\overrightarrow {{Q_n}} } \right) for any directed tree T → \vec T .
