Let fr(n) be the maximum number of edges in an r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices that does not contain four distinct edges A, B, C, D with A∪B=C∪D and A∩B=C∩D=∅. This problem was stated by Erdős [P. Erdős, Problems and results in combinatorial analysis, Congr. Numer. 19 (1977) 3–12]. It can be viewed as a generalization of the Turán problem for the 4-cycle to hypergraphs. Let ϕr=lim supn→∞fr(n)/(nr−1). Füredi [Z. Füredi, Hypergraphs in which all disjoint pairs have distinct unions, Combinatorica 4 (1984) 161–168] observed that ϕr⩾1 and conjectured that this is equality for every r⩾3. The best known upper bound ϕr⩽3 was proved by Mubayi and Verstraëte [D. Mubayi, J. Verstraëte, A hypergraph extension of the bipartite Turán problem, J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 106 (2004) 237–253]. Here we improve this bound. Namely, we show that ϕr⩽min(7/4,1+2/r) for every r⩾3, and ϕ3⩽13/9. In particular, it follows that ϕr→1 as r→∞.
