Abstract

For any set SS of positive integers, a mixed hypergraph H{\cal H} is a realization of SS if its feasible set is SS, furthermore, H{\cal H} is a one-realization of SS if it is a realization of SS and each entry of its chromatic spectrum is either 0 or 1. Jiang et al. \cite{Jiang} showed that the minimum number of vertices of realization of {s,t}\{s,t\} with 2st22\leq s\leq t-2 is 2ts2t-s. Kraˊ\acute{\rm a}l \cite{Kral} proved that there exists a one-realization of SS with at most S+2maxSminS|S|+2\max{S}-\min{S} vertices. In this paper, we improve Kraˊ\acute{\rm a}l's result, and determine the size of the smallest one-realization of a given set. As a result, we partially solve an open problem proposed by Jiang et al. in 2002 and by Kraˊ\acute{\rm a}l in 2004.
