On the chromatic number and independence number of hypergraph products
The hypergraph product G2H has vertex set V (G) × V (H), and edge set {e × f : e ∈ E(G), f ∈ E(H)}, where × denotes the usual cartesian product of sets. We construct a hypergraph sequence {Gn} for with χ(Gn) → ∞ and χ(Gn2Gn) = 2 for all n. This disproves a conjecture of Berge and Simonovits [2]. On the other hand, we show that if G and H are hypergraphs with infinite chromatic number, then the ...
متن کاملThe cost chromatic number and hypergraph parameters
In a graph, by definition, the weight of a (proper) coloring with positive integers is the sum of the colors. The chromatic sum is the minimum weight, taken over all the proper colorings. The minimum number of colors in a coloring of minimum weight is the cost chromatic number or strength of the graph. We derive general upper bounds for the strength, in terms of a new parameter of representatio...
متن کاملOn the chromatic number of a random hypergraph
We consider the problem of k-colouring a random r-uniform hypergraph with n verticesand cn edges, where k, r, c remain constant as n → ∞. Achlioptas and Naor showed that thechromatic number of a random graph in this setting, the case r = 2, must have one of twoeasily computable values as n→∞. We give a complete generalisation of this result to randomuniform hypergraphs.
متن کاملOn the upper chromatic number of a hypergraph
We introduce the notion of a of a hypergraph, which is a subset of vertices to be colored so that at least two vertices are of the same color. Hypergraphs with both and are called mixed hypergraphs. The maximal number of colors for which there exists a mixed hypergraph coloring using all the colors is called the upper chromatic number of a hypergraph H and is denoted by X(H). An algorithm for c...
متن کاملOn the fractional chromatic number, the chromatic number, and graph products
It is shown that the difference between the chromatic number χ and the fractional chromatic number χf can be arbitrarily large in the class of uniquely colorable, vertex transitive graphs. For the lexicographic product G ◦ H it is shown that χ(G ◦ H) ≥ χf (G)χ(H). This bound has several consequences, in particular it unifies and extends several known lower bounds. Lower bounds of Stahl (for gen...
