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 $G$ ...

What is a hypergraph minor?

Is there a theory of hypergraph minors? I could only find some attempts to define them at papers/theses, whose main topic was something else. What would be a useful definition? Does the hypergraph ...

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 ...

Graphs with minimum degree $\delta(G)\lt\aleph_0$

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph with minimum degree $\delta(G)=n\lt\aleph_0$. Does $G$ necessarily have a spanning subgraph $G'=(V,E')$ which also has minimum degree $\delta(G')=n$ and is minimal with that ...

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 ...

Constants for diagonal hypergraph Ramsey Theorem

For integers $n,s$, we write $K_n^{(s)}$ to denote the complete $s$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices. Given integers $k,s,r$, let $R(K_k^{(s)};r)$ denote the smallest $N$ such that, for every $r$-...

Definition of k-partite hypergraph

I would like to know the standard definition of k-partite hypergraph. There are two natural generalizations of k-partite graph to k-partite hypergraph: 1. For all edges e, any two vertices in e are ...

Hypergraph cartesian join operation (over same vertex set)

Consider two hypergraphs $H_1 = (V, \mathscr{E}_1), H_2 = (V, \mathscr{E}_2)$ over the same vertex set $V$. am interested in what could be called a "cartesian join" operation building a new ...

Standard names of two finitary properties of hypergraphs?

Now we are writing a paper on minimal covers and minimal vertex-covers in hypergraphs and would like to know if there are any standard names for the following two (dual) properties of a hypergraph $(V,...

Shortest hyperpath algorithm in intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraphs

I was looking for an algorithm to calculate the shortest hyperpath in intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraphs and I found only this article (which propose two algorithms). Are there any others algorithms ...

products/factoring of two hypergraphs with same vertex set?

all the basic products for graphs have been extended to hypergraphs[1]. is there a concept of a product of hypergraphs with the same vertex set? has this been studied? normally the hypergraph ...
