The asymptotic number of triple systems not containing a fixed one

Abstract For a fixed 3-uniform hypergraph F , call a hypergraph F -free if it contains no subhypergraph isomorphic to F . Let ex (n, F ) denote the size of a largest F -free hypergraph G ⊆[n] 3 . Let F n ( F ) denote the number of distinct labelled F -free G ⊆[n] 3 . We show that F n ( F )=2 ex (n, F )+ o (n 3 ) , and discuss related problems.
