On proper colorings of hypergraphs

Combinatorics 2014-05-29 v1

Abstract

Let H\mathcal{H} be a hypergraph of maximal vertex degree Δ\Delta, such that each its hyperedge contains at least δ\delta vertices. Let k=2Δδk=\lceil\frac{2\Delta}{\delta}\rceil. We prove that (i) The hypergraph H\mathcal{H} admits proper vertex coloring in k+1k+1 colors. (ii) The hypergraph H\mathcal{H} admits proper vertex coloring in kk colors, if δ3\delta\ge 3 and k3k\ge 3. As a consequence of these results we derive upper bounds on the number of colors in dynamic colorings.
