关于相交超图的Ryser猜想的一个注记

A comment on Ryser's conjecture for intersecting hypergraphs

Toufik Mansour, Chunwei Song, Raphael Yuster

摘要:

设$τ(\mathcal{H})$为超图$\mathcal{H}$的覆盖数,$ν(\mathcal{H})$为超图的匹配数. Ryser证明了每个$r$ -部超图$\mathcal{H}$满足不等式$τ(\mathcal{H}) \leq (r-1) ν(\mathcal{H})$ .这个猜想是开放的所有$r \ge 4$。对于交超图,即具有$ν(\mathcal{H})=1$的超图,Ryser猜想归结为$τ(\mathcal{H}) \leq r-1$。即使这个猜想是非常困难的,是开放的所有$ r \ge 6$。对于无穷多个$r$,有$r$ -部超图与$τ(\mathcal{H})=r-1$相交的例子,证明了对这样的$r$猜想的严密性.然而,所有先前已知的构造都不是最佳的,因为它们使用太多的边。如果交叉$r$ -部超图的覆盖数尽可能大,那么它的稀疏性有多大,即$τ(\mathcal{H}) \ge r-1$?本文解决了$r \le 5$的这一问题,给出了$r=6$的一个几乎最优构造,证明了任何具有$τ(H) \ge r-1$的$r$ -部交超图必至少有$(3-\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}})r(1-o(1)) \approx 2.764r(1-o(1))$边,并猜想存在具有$Θ(r)$边的构造.

英文摘要:

Let $τ(\mathcal{H})$ be the cover number and $ν(\mathcal{H})$ be the matching number of a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$. Ryser conjectured that every $r$-partite hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ satisfies the inequality $τ(\mathcal{H}) \leq (r-1) ν(\mathcal{H})$. This conjecture is open for all $r \ge 4$. For intersecting hypergraphs, namely those with $ν(\mathcal{H})=1$, Ryser's conjecture reduces to $τ(\mathcal{H}) \leq r-1$. Even this conjecture is extremely difficult and is open for all $ r \ge 6$. For infinitely many $r$ there are examples of intersecting $r$-partite hypergraphs with $τ(\mathcal{H})=r-1$, demonstrating the tightness of the conjecture for such $r$. However, all previously known constructions are not optimal as they use far too many edges. How sparse can an intersecting $r$-partite hypergraph be, given that its cover number is as large as possible, namely $τ(\mathcal{H}) \ge r-1$? In this paper we solve this question for $r \le 5$, give an almost optimal construction for $r=6$, prove that any $r$-partite intersecting hypergraph with $τ(H) \ge r-1$ must have at least $(3-\frac{1}{\sqrt{18}})r(1-o(1)) \approx 2.764r(1-o(1))$ edges, and conjecture that there exist constructions with $Θ(r)$ edges.
