Maximum Gap of Mixed Hypergraph

Abstract

A mixed hypergraph is a triple H = (X; C;D), where X is the vertex set, and each of C;D is a list of subsets of X. A strict t-coloring is a onto mapping from X to {1, 2,…,t} such that each c belongs to C contains two vertices have a common value and each d belongs to D has two vertices have distinct values. If H has a strict t-coloring, then t belongs to S(H), such S(H) is called the feasible set of H, and k is a gap if there are a value larger than k and a value less than k in the feasible set but k is not.\nWe find the minimum and maximum gap of a mixed hypergraph with more than 5 vertices. Then we consider two special cases of the gap of mixed hypergraphs. First, if the mixed hypergraphs is spanned by a complete bipartite graph, then the gap is decided by the size of bipartition. Second, the (l,m)-uniform mixed hypergraphs has gaps if l > m/2 >2, and we prove that the minimum number of vertices of a (l,m)-uniform mixed hypergraph which has gaps is (m/2)( l -1) + m.
