Let $\mathcal{H}=(V,\mathcal{E})$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and fix a positive integer $k$ such that $1\le k\le r$. A $k$-\emph{matching} of $\mathcal{H}$ is a collection of edges $\mathcal{M}\subset \mathcal{E}$ such…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta(G)$. A subgraph $H$ of $G$ is overfull if $|E(H)|>\Delta(G)\lfloor |V(H)|/2 \rfloor$. Chetwynd and Hilton in 1985 conjectured that a graph $G$ with $\Delta(G)>|V(G)|/3$ has chromatic…

We give, for each $k \geq 3$, the precise best possible minimum positive codegree condition for a perfect matching in a large $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ on $n$ vertices. Specifically we show that, if $n$ is sufficiently large and divisible…

Let $n$ be a sufficiently large integer with $n\equiv 0\pmod 4$ and let $F_i \subseteq{[n]\choose 4}$ where $i\in [n/4]$. We show that if each vertex of $F_i$ is contained in more than ${n-1\choose 3}-{3n/4\choose 3}$ edges, then $\{F_1,…

This paper studies the quantity $p(n,r)$, that is the minimal number of edges of an $n$-uniform hypergraph without panchromatic coloring (it means that every edge meets every color) in $r$ colors. If $r \leq c \frac{n}{\ln n}$ then all…

Given any $r$-edge coloring of $K_{n,n}$, how large is the maximum (over all $r$ colors) sized monochromatic subgraph guaranteed to be? We give answers to this problem for $r \leq 8$, when $r$ is a perfect square, and when $r$ is one less…

A hypergraph is \textit{bipartite with bipartition $(A, B)$} if every edge has exactly one vertex in $A$, and a matching in such a hypergraph is \textit{$A$-perfect} if it saturates every vertex in $A$. We prove an upper bound on the number…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a multigraph of maximum degree $\Delta$. The edges of $G$ can be colored with at most $\frac{3}{2}\Delta$ colors by Shannon's theorem. We study lower bounds on the size of subgraphs of $G$ that can be colored with $\Delta$…

A proper edge coloring of a graph is strong if it creates no bichromatic path of length three. It is well known that for a strong edge coloring of a $k$-regular graph at least $2k-1$ colors are needed. We show that a $k$-regular graph…

A complete $k$-coloring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is an assignment $\varphi:V\to\{1,\ldots,k\}$ of colors to the vertices such that no two vertices of the same color are adjacent, and the union of any two color classes contains at least one…

Given hypergraphs H and F, an F-factor in H is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint copies of F. Let K_4^3-e denote the 3-uniform hypergraph on 4 vertices with 3 edges. We show that for \gamma>0 there exists an integer n_0 such…

A graph $G$ is $k$-critical if it has chromatic number $k$, but every proper subgraph of $G$ is $(k-1)$--colorable. Let $f_k(n)$ denote the minimum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $k$-critical graph. We give a lower bound, $f_k(n) \geq…

We consider a robust variant of Dirac-type problems in $k$-uniform hypergraphs. For instance, we prove that if $H$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph with minimum codegree at least $(1/2 + \gamma )n$, $\gamma >0$, and $n$ is sufficiently large,…

A 2-coloring of a hypergraph is a mapping from its vertices to a set of two colors such that no edge is monochromatic. Let $H_k(n,m)$ be a random $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices formed by picking $m$ edges uniformly, independently…

Given an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V,E)$ and a weight function $\omega:E\to\{1,\dots,w\}$, a coloring of vertices of $H$, induced by $\omega$, is defined by $c(v) = \sum_{e\ni v} w(e)$ for all $v\in V$. If there exists such a coloring that…

For a positive integer $k$ and a graph $H$ on $k$ vertices, we are interested in the inducibility of $H$, denoted $\mathrm{ind}(H)$, which is defined as the maximum possible probability that choosing $k$ vertices uniformly at random from a…

We produce an edge-coloring of the complete 3-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with $e^{O(\sqrt {log log n})}$ colors such that the edges spanned by every set of five vertices receive at least three distinct colors. This answers the first…

A mixed hypergraph is a triple $H=(V,\mathcal{C},\mathcal{D})$, where $V$ is a set of vertices, $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ are sets of hyperedges. A vertex-coloring of $H$ is proper if $C$-edges are not totally multicolored and…

A classical result of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal claims that for any integers $k, r, g \geq 2$ there is an $r$-uniform hypergraph of girth at least $g$ with chromatic number at least $k$. This implies that there are sparse hypergraphs such that…

A hypergraph is said to be $\chi$-colorable if its vertices can be colored with $\chi$ colors so that no hyperedge is monochromatic. $2$-colorability is a fundamental property (called Property B) of hypergraphs and is extensively studied in…
