Let f (n, v, e) denote the maximum number of edges in a 3-uniform hypergraph not containing e edges spanned by at most v vertices. One of the most influential open problems in extremal combinatorics then asks, for a given number of edges e≥ 3, what is the smallest integer d= d (e) such that f (n, e+ d, e)= o (n 2)? This question has its origins in work of Brown, Erdős and Sós from the early 70's and the standard conjecture is that d (e)= 3 for every e≥ 3. The state of the art result regarding this problem was obtained in 2004 by Sárközy and Selkow, who showed that f (n, e+ 2+⌊ log 2 e⌋, e)= o (n 2). The only improvement over this result was a recent breakthrough of Solymosi and Solymosi, who improved the bound for d (10) from 5 to 4. We obtain the first asymptotic improvement over the Sárközy–Selkow bound, showing that f (n, e+ O (log e/log log e), e)= o (n 2).
