Spectrum of mixed bi-uniform hypergraphs

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 $D$-edges are not monochromatic. The feasible set $S(H)$ of $H$ is the set of all integers, $s$, such that $H$ has a proper coloring with $s$ colors. Bujt\'as and Tuza [Graphs and Combinatorics 24 (2008), 1--12] gave a characterization of feasible sets for mixed hypergraphs with all $C$- and $D$-edges of the same size $r$, $r\geq 3$. In this note, we give a short proof of a complete characterization of all possible feasible sets for mixed hypergraphs with all $C$-edges of size $\ell$ and all $D$-edges of size $m$, where $\ell, m \geq 2$. Moreover, we show that for every sequence $(r(s))_{s=\ell}^n$, $n \geq \ell$, of natural numbers there exists such a hypergraph with exactly $r(s)$ proper colorings using $s$ colors, $s = \ell,\ldots,n$, and no proper coloring with more than $n$ colors. Choosing $\ell = m=r$ this answers a question of Bujt\'as and Tuza, and generalizes their result with a shorter proof.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
