Packing perfect matchings in random hypergraphs

Packing perfect matchings in random hypergraphs

We introduce a new procedure for generating the binomial random graph/hypergraph models, referred to as online sprinkling. As an illustrative application of this method, we show that for any fixed integer k ≥ 3, the binomial k-uniform random hypergraph H n,p contains N := (1 − o(1)) ( n−1 k−1 ) p edge-disjoint perfect matchings, provided p ≥ log C n nk−1 , where C := C(k) is an integer dependin...

Perfect matchings in random uniform hypergraphs

In the random k-uniform hypergraph Hk(n, p) on a vertex set V of size n, each subset of size k of V independently belongs to it with probability p. Motivated by a theorem of Erdős and Rényi [6] regarding when a random graph G(n, p) = H2(n, p) has a perfect matching, Schmidt and Shamir [14] essentially conjectured the following. Conjecture Let k|n for fixed k ≥ 3, and the expected degree d(n, p)...

Nearly perfect matchings in regular simple hypergraphs

For every fixed k ≥ 3 there exists a constant ck with the following property. Let H be a kuniform, D-regular hypergraph on N vertices, in which no two edges contain more than one common vertex. If k > 3 then H contains a matching covering all vertices but at most ckND. If k = 3, then H contains a matching covering all vertices but at most c3ND lnD. This improves previous estimates and implies, ...
