Abstract

We develop a connection between DP-colorings of kk-uniform hypergraphs of order nn and coverings of nn-dimensional Boolean hypercube by pairs of antipodal (nk)(n-k)-dimensional faces. Bernshteyn and Kostochka established that the lower bound on edges in a non-2-DP-colorable kk-uniform hypergraph is equal to 2k12^{k-1} for odd kk and 2k1+12^{k-1}+1 for even kk. They proved that these bounds are tight for k=3,4k=3,4. In this paper, we prove that the bound is achieved for all odd k3k\geq 3.
