### hardness of approximating the chromatic number in graphs with bounded degree

I am looking for hardness results on vertex coloring of graphs with bounded degree. Given a graph $G(V,E)$, we know that for any $\epsilon>0$, it's hard to approximate $\chi(G)$ within a factor ...

### Recognizing line graphs of hypergraphs

The line graph of a hypergraph $H$ is the (simple) graph $G$ having edges of $H$ as vertices with two edges of $H$ are adjacent in $G$ if they have nonempty intersection. A hypergraph is an ...

### k-uniform k-partite hypergraph matching in polynomial time

I have what seems like an elementary question, but google didn't throw up any answers for it. I would appreciate any pointers users here may provide. Please note that I have also asked this question ...

### What are the root difficulties in going from graphs to hypergraphs?

There are many examples in combinatorics and computer science where we can analyze a graph-theoretic problem but for the problem's hypergraph analog, our tools are lacking. Why do you think problems ...

### Do Shift-chains have Property B?

For $A\subset [n]$ denote by $a_i$ the $i^{th}$ smallest element of $A$. For two $k$-element sets, $A,B\subset [n]$, we say that $A\le B$ if $a_i\le b_i$ for every $i$. A $k$-uniform hypergraph ...

### CSPs with unbounded fractional hypertree width

At SODA 2006, Martin Grohe and D$\acute{\rm a}$niel Marx's paper "Constraint solving via fractional edge covers" (ACM citation) showed that for the class of hypergraphs $H$ with bounded fractional ...

### Max-clique in line graph of hypergraph

Suppose we have a multigraph (later, a multihypergraph). An edge-clique is a set of edges which all pairwise intersect (have at least one common vertex). Then any edge-clique $C$ in a multigraph ...

### Follow-up on Nair/Tetali's Correlation Decay Tree for hypergraphs?

I'm wondering if anybody has followed up on Nair/Tetali's correlation decay tree construction for hypergraphs. I didn't find anything relevant in back-citation on google scholar. Interesting question ...

### Consequences of lower bounds for $\epsilon$-nets on approximation

Many here are probably aware of Alon's recent super-linear lower bounds for $\epsilon$-nets in a natural geometric setting [PDF]. I would like to know what, if anything, such a lower bound implies ...

### Efficient algorithm for near-optimal edge-colourings of hypergraphs

Graph colouring problems are, already, hard enough for most people. Even so, I'm going to have to be difficult and ask a problem about hypergraph colouring. Question. What efficient algorithms are ...

### “All-different hypergraph coloring” - known problem?

I am interested in the following problem: Given a set X and subsets X_1, ..., X_n of X, find a coloring of the elements of X with k colors such that the elements in each X_i are all differently ...
