Rainbow Perfect Matchings for 4-Uniform Hypergraphs

Perfect matchings in 4-uniform hypergraphs

A perfect matching in a 4-uniform hypergraph is a subset of b4 c disjoint edges. We prove that if H is a sufficiently large 4-uniform hypergraph on n = 4k vertices such that every vertex belongs to more than ( n−1 3 ) − ( 3n/4 3 ) edges then H contains a perfect matching. This bound is tight and settles a conjecture of Hán, Person and Schacht.

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)...

Vertex Degree Sums for Perfect Matchings in 3-uniform Hypergraphs

We determine the minimum degree sum of two adjacent vertices that ensures a perfect matching in a 3-graph without isolated vertex. More precisely, suppose that H is a 3-uniform hypergraph whose order n is sufficiently large and divisible by 3. If H contains no isolated vertex and deg(u)+deg(v) > 2 3 n2− 8 3 n+2 for any two vertices u and v that are contained in some edge of H, then H contains a...

Exact minimum degree thresholds for perfect matchings in uniform hypergraphs

Article history: Received 19 August 2011 Available online xxxx Given positive integers k and where 4 divides k and k/2 k−1, we give a minimum -degree condition that ensures a perfect matching in a k-uniform hypergraph. This condition is best possible and improves on work of Pikhurko who gave an asymptotically exact result. Our approach makes use of the absorbing method, as well as the hypergrap...
