Triangle-free subsets of the Hypercube

We study the problem of determining the largest subset of vertices of the $n$ dimensional hypercube without three vertices at a Hamming distance of exactly $r$ from each other. In particular, we provide a lower bound of $\frac{c2^n}{e^r2^{\frac r2} (\frac nr)^{\frac{3r}{4}}}$ and an upper bound of $O(\frac{r2^n}{n+1})$ when $2r \le n$. In particular, when $r$ is a constant, the lower bound is $\frac{c2^n}{n^{3r/4}}$, while the upper bound is $\frac{c'2^n}{n}$.

Abstract

We study the problem of determining the largest subset of vertices of the $n$ dimensional hypercube without three vertices at a Hamming distance of exactly $r$ from each other. In particular, we provide a lower bound of $\frac{c2^n}{e^r2^{\frac r2} (\frac nr)^{\frac{3r}{4}}}$ and an upper bound of $O(\frac{r2^n}{n+1})$ when $2r \le n$. In particular, when $r$ is a constant, the lower bound is $\frac{c2^n}{n^{3r/4}}$, while the upper bound is $\frac{c'2^n}{n}$.
