Ramsey-Style Hypergraph Partition Bound H(n)

Let H(n)H(n) be the largest number of vertices in a hypergraph with no isolated vertices and no partition of size greater than nn. With k1=1k_1 = 1 and kn=n/2+kn/2+kn/2k_n = \lfloor n/2 \rfloor + k_{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor} + k_{\lceil n/2 \rceil}, prove H(n)cknH(n) \ge c\,k_n for some constant c>1c > 1, already for n=15n = 15, with a constructive algorithm.
