On hamiltonian chain saturated uniform hypergraphs

چکیده
We say that a hypergraph H is hamiltonian chain saturated if H does not contain a hamiltonian chain but by adding any new edge we create a hamiltonian chain in H. In this paper we ask about the smallest size of a k-uniform hamiltonian chain saturated hypergraph. We present a construction of a family of k-uniform hamiltonian chain saturated hypergraphs with O(nk−1/2) edges.

Hamilton-chain saturated hypergraphs
We say that a hypergraph H is hamiltonian path (cycle) saturated if H does not contain an open (closed) hamiltonian chain but by adding any new edge we create an open (closed) hamiltonian chain in H. In this paper we ask about the smallest size of an r-uniform hamiltonian path (cycle) saturated hypergraph, mainly for r = 3. We present a construction of a family of 3-uniform path (cycle) saturat...
متن کاملHamilton 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...
متن کاملHamiltonian decompositions of complete k-uniform hypergraphs
Using a generalisation of Hamiltonian cycles to uniform hypergraphs due to Katona and Kierstead, we define a new notion of a Hamiltonian decomposition of a uniform hypergraph. We then consider the problem of constructing such decompositions for complete uniform hypergraphs, and describe its relationship with other topics, such as design theory.
متن کاملUpper 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...
متن کاملExtremal k-edge-hamiltonian hypergraphs
An r-uniform hypergraph is k-edge-hamiltonian iff it still contains a hamiltonian-chain after deleting any k edges of the hypergraph. What is the minimum number of edges in such a hypergraph? We give lower and upper bounds for this question for several values of r and k. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
