Dirac-type conditions for spanning bounded-degree hypertrees

We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a sub\-graph. This generalises a well-known result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi for graphs. Our result is asymptotically sharp. We also prove an extension of our result to hypergraphs that satisfy some weak quasirandomness conditions

Clique-Relaxed Graph Coloring

We define a generalization of the chromatic number of a graph G called the k-clique-relaxed chromatic number, denoted χ(k)(G). We prove bounds on χ(k)(G) for all graphs G, including corollaries for outerplanar and planar graphs. We also define the k-clique-relaxed game chromatic number, χg(k)(G), of a graph G. We prove χg(2)(G)≤ 4 for all outerplanar graphs G, and give an example of an outerplanar graph H with χg(2)(H) ≥ 3. Finally, we prove that if H is a member of a particular subclass of outerplanar graphs, then χg(2)(H) ≤ 3

Tur\'an Numbers of Ordered Tight Hyperpaths

An ordered hypergraph is a hypergraph $G$ whose vertex set $V(G)$ is linearly ordered. We find the Tur\'an numbers for the $r$-uniform $s$-vertex tight path $P^{(r)}_s$ (with vertices in the natural order) exactly when $r\le s < 2r$ and $n$ is even; our results imply $\mathrm{ex}_{>}(n,P^{(r)}_s)=(1-\frac{1}{2^{s-r}} + o(1))\binom{n}{r}$ when r\le s}(n,P^{(r)}_s) remain open. For $r=3$, we give a construction of an $r$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph not containing $P^{(r)}_s$ which we conjecture to be asymptotically extremal.Comment: 10 pages, 0 figure
