On Generalised Kneser Colourings
نویسنده
چکیده
There are two possible definitions of the “s-disjoint r-uniform Kneser hypergraph” of a set system T : The hyperedges are either r-sets or r-multisets. We point out that Ziegler’s (combinatorial) lower bound on the chromatic number of an s-disjoint r-uniform Kneser hypergraph only holds if we consider r-multisets as hyperedges. We give a new proof of his result and show by example that a similar result does not hold if one considers r-sets as hyperedges. In case of r-sets as hyperedges and s ≥ 2 the only known lower bounds are obtained from topological invariants of associated simplicial complexes if r is a prime or the power of prime. This is also true for arbitrary r-uniform hypergraphs with r-sets or r-multisets as hyperedges as long as r is a power of a prime.

Counting Representable Sets on Simple Graphs
The graph-colouring problem may be generalised by allowing arbitrary constraints to be speciied on the colour combinations permitted at each pair of adjacent nodes. A set of colourings which is the solution to some network of speciied constraints is said to be a representable set. This paper derives exact expressions for the number of representable sets when the corresponding graph is cycle-fre...
متن کاملUnique Factorization Theorem and Formal Concept Analysis
In the theory of generalised colourings of graphs, the Unique Factorization Theorem (UFT) for additive induced-hereditary properties of graphs provides an analogy of the well-known Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetics. The purpose of this paper is to present a new, less complicated, proof of this theorem that is based on Formal Concept Analysis. The method of the proof can be successfully applied...
متن کاملGeneralised acyclic edge colourings of graphs with large girth
An edge colouring of a graph G is called acyclic if it is proper and every cycle contains at least three colours. We show that for every ε > 0, there exists a g = g(ε) such that if G has girth at least g then G admits an acyclic edge colouring with at most (1 + ε)∆ colours.
متن کاملBipartite Kneser Graphs are Hamiltonian
The Kneser graph K(n, k) has as vertices all k-element subsets of [n] := {1, 2, . . . , n} and an edge between any two vertices (=sets) that are disjoint. The bipartite Kneser graph H(n, k) has as vertices all k-element and (n−k)-element subsets of [n] and an edge between any two vertices where one is a subset of the other. It has long been conjectured that all connected Kneser graphs and bipar...
متن کاملSymmetries of the Stable Kneser Graphs
It is well known that the automorphism group of the Kneser graph KGn,k is the symmetric group on n letters. For n ≥ 2k + 1, k ≥ 2, we prove that the automorphism group of the stable Kneser graph SGn,k is the dihedral group of order 2n. Let [n] := [1, 2, 3, . . . , n]. For each n ≥ 2k, n, k ∈ {1, 2, 3, . . .}, the Kneser graph KGn,k has as vertices the k-subsets of [n] with edges defined by disj...
