However, a seemingly similar question posed by {\it P. Tur\'an} in [Mat. Fiz. Lapok 48, 436--452 (1941; Zbl 0026.26903)] is still open: what is the largest 3-uniform hypergraph on a given vertex set with no tetrahedron? This question can be considered a test case for the general hypergraph Tur\'an problem, where given an $r$-uniform hypergraph $F$, we want to determine the maximum number of edges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices that does not contain a copy of $F$. To date there are very few results on this problem, even asymptotically. However, recent years have seen a revitalisation of this field, via significant developments in the available methods, notably the use of stability (approximate structure) and flag algebras. This article surveys the known results and methods, and discusses some open problems.
