Faster Algorithms to Enumerate Hypergraph Transversals

A transversal of a hypergraph is a set of vertices intersecting each hyperedge. We design and analyze new exponential-time algorithms to enumerate all inclusion-minimal transversals of a hypergraph. For each fixed k ≥ 3, our algorithms for hypergraphs of rank k, where the rank is the maximum size of a hyperedge, outperform the previous best. This also implies improved upper bounds on the maximu...

Partitioning of Loop-free Sperner Hypergraphs into Transversals

This article explores possibilities of partitioning the vertex set of a given simple loop-free Sperner hypergraph into a union of transversals. Studies are done on the possible number of transversals in such partitions, followed by forming a hypergraph (on the vertex set of the given hypergraph) that consists of transversals for hyperedges. AMS Subject Classification: 05C65

A New Algorithm for the Hypergraph Transversal Problem

We consider the problem of finding all minimal transversals of a hypergraph H ⊆ 2 , given by an explicit list of its hyperedges. We give a new decomposition technique for solving the problem with the following advantages: (i) Global parallelism: for certain classes of hypergraphs, e.g. hypergraphs of bounded edge size, and any given integer k, the algorithm outputs k minimal transversals of H i...
