Creation and Growth of Components in a Random Hypergraph Process
Denote by an -component a connected -uniform hypergraph with
edges and vertices. We prove that the expected number of
creations of -component during a random hypergraph process tends to 1 as
and tend to with the total number of vertices such that
. Under the same conditions, we also show that
the expected number of vertices that ever belong to an -component is
approximately . As an immediate
consequence, it follows that with high probability the largest -component
during the process is of size . Our results
give insight about the size of giant components inside the phase transition of
random hypergraphs.Comment: R\'{e}sum\'{e} \'{e}tend
Covering graphs by monochromatic trees and Helly-type results for hypergraphs
How many monochromatic paths, cycles or general trees does one need to cover
all vertices of a given -edge-coloured graph ? These problems were
introduced in the 1960s and were intensively studied by various researchers
over the last 50 years. In this paper, we establish a connection between this
problem and the following natural Helly-type question in hypergraphs. Roughly
speaking, this question asks for the maximum number of vertices needed to cover
all the edges of a hypergraph if it is known that any collection of a few
edges of has a small cover. We obtain quite accurate bounds for the
hypergraph problem and use them to give some unexpected answers to several
questions about covering graphs by monochromatic trees raised and studied by
Bal and DeBiasio, Kohayakawa, Mota and Schacht, Lang and Lo, and Gir\~ao,
Letzter and Sahasrabudhe.Comment: 20 pages including references plus 2 pages of an Appendi
Relaxation-Based Coarsening for Multilevel Hypergraph Partitioning
Multilevel partitioning methods that are inspired by principles of
multiscaling are the most powerful practical hypergraph partitioning solvers.
Hypergraph partitioning has many applications in disciplines ranging from
scientific computing to data science. In this paper we introduce the concept of
algebraic distance on hypergraphs and demonstrate its use as an algorithmic
component in the coarsening stage of multilevel hypergraph partitioning
solvers. The algebraic distance is a vertex distance measure that extends
hyperedge weights for capturing the local connectivity of vertices which is
critical for hypergraph coarsening schemes. The practical effectiveness of the
proposed measure and corresponding coarsening scheme is demonstrated through
extensive computational experiments on a diverse set of problems. Finally, we
propose a benchmark of hypergraph partitioning problems to compare the quality
of other solvers
Counting connected hypergraphs via the probabilistic method
In 1990 Bender, Canfield and McKay gave an asymptotic formula for the number
of connected graphs on with edges, whenever and the nullity
tend to infinity. Asymptotic formulae for the number of connected
-uniform hypergraphs on with edges and so nullity
were proved by Karo\'nski and \L uczak for the case ,
and Behrisch, Coja-Oghlan and Kang for . Here we prove such a
formula for any fixed, and any satisfying and
as . This leaves open only the (much simpler) case
, which we will consider in future work. ( arXiv:1511.04739 )
Our approach is probabilistic. Let denote the random -uniform
hypergraph on in which each edge is present independently with
probability . Let and be the numbers of vertices and edges in
the largest component of . We prove a local limit theorem giving an
asymptotic formula for the probability that and take any given pair
of values within the `typical' range, for any in the supercritical
regime, i.e., when where
and ; our enumerative result then follows
easily.
Taking as a starting point the recent joint central limit theorem for
and , we use smoothing techniques to show that `nearby' pairs of values
arise with about the same probability, leading to the local limit theorem.
Behrisch et al used similar ideas in a very different way, that does not seem
to work in our setting.
Independently, Sato and Wormald have recently proved the special case ,
with an additional restriction on . They use complementary, more enumerative
methods, which seem to have a more limited scope, but to give additional
information when they do work.Comment: Expanded; asymptotics clarified - no significant mathematical
