The Lagrangian density of an r-uniform hypergraph F is r! multiplying the supremum of the Lagrangians of all F-free r-uniform hypergraphs. For an r-graph H with t vertices, it is clear that π λ (H)≥ r! λ (K t− 1 r). We say that an r-uniform hypergraph H with t vertices is λ-perfect if π λ (H)= r! λ (K t− 1 r). A theorem of Motzkin–Straus implies that all 2-uniform graphs are λ-perfect. It is interesting to explore what kind of hypergraphs are λ-perfect. A hypergraph is linear if any 2 edges have at most 1 vertex in common. We propose the following conjecture:(1) For r≥ 3, there exists n such that a linear r-uniform hypergraph with at least n vertices is λ-perfect.(2) For r≥ 3, there exists n such that if G, H are λ-perfect r-graphs with at least n vertices, then G⨆ H is λ-perfect. Regarding this conjecture, we obtain a partial result: Let S 2, t={123, 124, 125, 126,…, 12 (t+ 2)}.(An earlier result of Sidorenko states that S 2, t is λ-perfect (Sidorenko, 1989).) Let H be a λ-perfect 3-graph with s vertices. Then F= S 2, t⨆ H is λ-perfect if s≥ 3 and t≥ 3. There was no known result on Lagrangian densities of hypergraph cycles and there were 3 unsolved cases for 3-uniform graphs spanned by 3 edges: a linear cycle of length 3: C 3 3={123, 345, 561}, the generalized triangle: F 5={123, 124, 345} and K 4 3−={123, 124, 134}. In this paper, we obtain the Lagrangian density of F 5 which is an example of non-λ-perfect 3-uniform graph. We show that C 3 3 is λ-perfect, and among all C 3 3-free 3-graphs G, only those hypergraphs containing K 5 3 achieve the Lagrangian λ (K 5 3). The Turán densities of extensions of the above hypergraphs can be obtained by applying a transference technique of Pikhurko.
