چکیده

A two-coloring of the vertices X of the hypergraph H = ( X , o °) by red and blue has discrepancy d if d is the largest difference between the number of red and blue points in any edge. A two-coloring is an equipartition of H if it has discrepancy 0, i.e., every edge is exactly half red and half blue. Letf(n) be the fewest number of edges in an n-uniform hypergraph (all edges have size n) having positive discrepancy. Erd6s and S6s asked: is f(n) unbounded? We answer this question in the affirmative and show that there exist constants cl and c2 such that

ON SENSITIVITY OF k-UNIFORM HYPERGRAPH PROPERTIES

In this paper we present a graph property with sensitivity Θ( √ n), where n = (v 2 ) is the number of variables, and generalize it to a k-uniform hypergraph property with sensitivity Θ( √ n), where n = (v k ) is again the number of variables. This yields the smallest sensitivity yet achieved for a k-uniform hypergraph property. We then show that, for even k, there is a k-uniform hypergraph prop...

The Ramsey Number for Hypergraph Cycles Ii

Let C (3) n denote the 3-uniform tight cycle, that is the hypergraph with vertices v1, . . . , vn and edges v1v2v3, v2v3v4, . . . , vn−1vnv1, vnv1v2. We prove that the smallest integer N = N(n) for which every red-blue coloring of the edges of the complete 3-uniform hypergraph with N vertices contains a monochromatic copy of C (3) n is asymptotically equal to 4n/3 if n is divisible by 3, and 2n...

Algorithmic Bounds on Hypergraph Coloring and Covering

Consider the coloring of a vertex-labelled r-uniform hypergraph G(V,E), where V is the vertex set of n labelled vertices, and E is the set of hyperedges. In case of proper bicoloring, given two colors, we need to assign each vertex with one of the colors so that none of the hyperedges is monochromatic. This may not always be possible. In such cases, we use multiple bicolorings to ensure that ea...

Hamilton Saturated Hypergraphs of Essentially Minimum Size

For 1 ≤ ` < k, an `-overlapping cycle is a k-uniform hypergraph in which, for some cyclic vertex ordering, every edge consists of k consecutive vertices and every two consecutive edges share exactly ` vertices. A k-uniform hypergraph H is `-Hamiltonian saturated, 1 ≤ ` ≤ k − 1, if H does not contain an `-overlapping Hamiltonian cycle C (k) n (`) but every hypergraph obtained from H by adding on...

Upper Bounds on the Minimum Size of Hamilton Saturated Hypergraphs

For 1 6 ` < k, an `-overlapping k-cycle is a k-uniform hypergraph in which, for some cyclic vertex ordering, every edge consists of k consecutive vertices and every two consecutive edges share exactly ` vertices. A k-uniform hypergraph H is `-Hamiltonian saturated if H does not contain an `-overlapping Hamiltonian k-cycle but every hypergraph obtained from H by adding one edge does contain such...
