We show that, for every $k \ge 2$, every $k$-uniform hypergaph of degree $\Delta$ and girth at least $5$ is efficiently $(1+o(1) )(k-1) (\Delta / \ln \Delta )^{ 1/(k-1) } $-list colorable. As an application (and to the best of our…

Spectral graph bisections are a popular heuristic aimed at approximating the solution of the NP-complete graph bisection problem. This technique, however, does not always provide a robust tool for graph partitioning. Using a special class…
