Nonconvexity of the set of hypergraph degree sequences

Combinatorics 2012-01-31 v1

Abstract

It is well known that the set of possible degree sequences for a graph on nn vertices is the intersection of a lattice and a convex polytope. We show that the set of possible degree sequences for a kk-uniform hypergraph on nn vertices is not the intersection of a lattice and a convex polytope for k3k \geq 3 and nk+13n \geq k+13. We also show an analogous nonconvexity result for the set of degree sequences of kk-partite kk-uniform hypergraphs and the generalized notion of λ\lambda-balanced kk-uniform hypergraphs.
