Abstract

A rainbow set of $\mathcal{F}$ is a non-empty set of the form $S=\{s_{i_1},\ldots,s_{i_k}\} \subset V$ with $1 \leq i_1 < \cdots < i_k \leq m$ such that $s_{i_j} \neq s_{i_{j'}}$ for every $j \neq j'$ and $s_{i_j} \in S_{i_j}$ for each $j \in [k]$. If $k = m$, namely if all $S_i$ is represented, then the rainbow set $S$ is called a full rainbow set of $\mathcal{F}$. Originated from the celebrated Hall's marriage theorem, it has been one of the most fundamental questions in combinatorics and discrete mathematics to find sufficient conditions on set-systems to guarantee the existence of certain rainbow sets. We call problems in this direction the rainbow set problems. In this dissertation, we give an overview on two topological tools on rainbow set problems, Aharoni and Haxell's topological Hall theorem and Kalai and Meshulam's topological colorful Helly theorem, and present some results on and rainbow independent sets and rainbow covers in (hyper)graphs.Abstract i 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Topological Hall theorem . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 1.2 Topological colorful Helly theorem . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 1.2.1 Collapsibility and Lerayness of simplicial complexes . . . 4 1.2.2 Nerve theorem and topological Helly theorem . . . . . . . 5 1.2.3 Topological colorful Helly theorem . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 1.3 Domination numbers and non-cover complexes of hypergraphs . . 7 1.3.1 Domination numbers of hypergraphs . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 1.3.2 Non-cover complexes of hypergraphs . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 1.4 Rainbow independent sets in graphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 1.5 Organization . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15 2 Collapsibility of non-cover complexes of graphs 16 2.1 The minimal exclusion sequences . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 2.2 Independent domination numbers and collapsibility numbers of non-cover complexes of graphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21 3 Domination numbers and non-cover complexes of hypergraphs 24 3.1 Proof of Theorem 1.3.4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 3.1.1 Edge-annihilation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25 3.1.2 Non-cover complexes for hypergraphs . . . . . . . . . . . 27 3.2 Lerayness of non-cover complexes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 3.2.1 Total domination numbers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 3.2.2 Independent domination numbers . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33 3.2.3 Edgewise-domination numbers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 3.3 Remarks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35 3.3.1 Independent domination numbers of hypergraphs . . . . . 35 3.3.2 Independence complexes of hypergraphs . . . . . . . . . . 36 3.3.3 General position complexes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 3.3.4 Rainbow covers of hypergraphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39 3.3.5 Collapsibility of non-cover complexes of hypergraphs . . . 40 4 Rainbow independent sets 42 4.1 Graphs avoiding certain induced subgraphs . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 4.1.1 Claw-free graphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 42 4.1.2 $\{C_4,C_5, . . . ,C_s\}$-free graphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 44 4.1.3 Chordal graphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 4.1.4 $K_r$-free graphs and $K^{−}_r$-free graphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 4.2 $k$-colourable graphs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 4.3 Graphs with bounded degrees . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55 4.3.1 The case $m < n$ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 56 4.4 A topological approach . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 64 4.5 Concluding remark . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 67 Abstract (in Korean) 69 Acknowledgement (in Korean) 70Docto
