Number of triangle-free graphs with prescribed number of edges
This question is posted from StackExchange since it received no answer there.
Let $f(n, e)$ be the number of triangle-free graphs on $n$ vertices and $e$ edges. From empirical evidence, I am motivated ...

Simplicial Representations of (Hyper)Graph Complexes
For graph complexes, which are families of graph [on a fixed number of vertices n] closed under the deletion of edges, there is a natural simplicial complex capturing that information. Specifically, ...

What is the best lower bound for the domination number in regular graphs of girth 5?
The following theorem is a classical result (see [Alon and Spencer, The probabilistic method, 2nd ed., Theorem 1.2.2]):
Theorem: Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree $d$. Then $G$ ...

Chip firing on hypergraphs
A (finite) hypergraph is a pair $(V, \mathcal{E})$ where $V$ is a finite set of vertices and $\mathcal{E}\subseteq\mathcal{P}(V)$ with each $E\in\mathcal{E}$ having at least two elements; a ...

What is known about chromatic polynomial of hypergraph at $-1$
Let $H$ be a hypergraph and let $P_H$ denote its chromatic polynomial. I am interested in the best results interpreting $P_H(-1)$. I am interested both in the general case (which I think is hard) as ...

A maximum discrepancy hypergraph 2-colouring problem
This is sort of a hypergraph-ish question that I feel should be easy to prove or disprove but I can't see it right now.
The setup is as follows. We have a vertex set partitioned in to sets $V_1,\...

Chromatic index of hypergraphs
A proper $k$-edge-coloring of a hypergraph $H$ is a mapping from $E(H)$ to a set of $k$ colors so that every pair of adjacent edges receives different colors. We say $H$ is $k$-edge-colorable if
$H$ ...

Consequences of Ramsey-numbers of hypergraphs
We know that the (2-color) Ramsey-numbers for $3$-uniform hypergraphs are between roughly $2^{n^2}$ and $2^{2^n}$, and the situation is similar to $k$-uniform hypergraphs for every $k\ge 3$. (A recent ...

What characterizes the incidence matrix of a tripartite hypergraph?
The incidence matrix of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is a matrix with $|V|$ rows and $|E|$ columns, in which element $v,e$ is $1$ if node $v$ is incident to edge $e$, and $0$ otherwise.
In bipartite graphs, ...

An equation involving fractional covering number of hypergraphs
Let $\mathcal{H}=(S,\mathcal{X})$ be a hypergraph, where $S = \{ s_1, \ldots, s_n \}$, and $\mathcal{X} = \{ X_1, \ldots, X_m \}$.
The dual hypergraph $\mathcal{H}^*$ of $\mathcal{H}$ is the ...

Counting regular Hypergraphs
The problem of counting regular graphs on $n$ vertices is notoriously hard. It seems like counting regular hypergraphs on $n$ vertices should be much easier (I am placing no uniformity condition). ...

Chromatic number of 2-graph vs hypergraph of point-line incidences
Define the chromatic number $\chi(H)$ of a (hyper)graph $H$ as the smallest $k$ such that its vertices can be $k$-colored such that no (hyper)edge is monochromatic.
Given a finite set of points $P$ in ...

Maximum number of h-dimensional hyper-edges without forming any (h+1) complete subgraph
This is about graph theory.
Define an h-dimensional hyperedge as a set that contains h vertices.
A graph of (h+1) vertices is h-complete if any h combination (or any subset with size h) is an h-...

Steiner-like systems with large edges and many intersections
Let $l\geq 3$ be an integer. Is there $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and a hypergraph $H=(\{1,\ldots,n\},E)$ with the following properties?
for all $e\in E$ we have $|e| \geq l$
$e_1\neq e_2 \in E \implies |e_1 \...
