A cover of a hypergraph is a collection of edges whose union contains all vertices. Let H = (V, E) be a k-uniform, D-regular hypergraph on n vertices, in which no two vertices are contained in more than o(D/e log D) edges as D tends to infinity. Our results include that if k = o(log D), then there is a cover of (1 + o(1))n/k edges, extending the known result that this holds for fixed k. On the ...
