Improving Gebauer’s Construction of 3-Chromatic Hypergraphs with Few Edges

pdf-format:
LIPIcs-ICALP-2021-89.pdf (0.6 MB)


Abstract

In 1964 Erdős proved, by randomized construction, that the minimum number of edges in a k-graph that is not two colorable is O(k² 2^k). To this day, it is not known whether there exist such k-graphs with smaller number of edges. Known deterministic constructions use much larger number of edges. The most recent one by Gebauer requires 2^{k+Θ(k^{2/3})} edges. Applying a derandomization technique we reduce that number to 2^{k+Θ̃(k^{1/2})}.
