On the Inapproximability of Vertex Cover on k-Partite k-Uniform Hypergraphs
"... Computing a minimum vertex cover in graphs and hypergraphs is a well-studied optimizaton problem. While intractable in general, it is well known that on bipartite graphs, vertex cover is polynomial time solvable. In this work, we study the natural extension of bipartite vertex cover to hypergraphs, ..."

, namely finding a small vertex cover in k-uniform k-partite hypergraphs, when the k-partition is given as input. For this problem Lovász [16] gave a k 2 factor LP rounding based approximation, and a matching ( k 2 − o(1)) integrality gap instance was constructed by Aharoni et al. [1]. We prove
Rainbow Matchings and Hamilton Cycles in Random Graphs
, 2014
"... Let HPn,m,k be drawn uniformly from all k-uniform, k-partite hypergraphs where each part of the partition is a disjoint copy of [n]. We let HP (κ) n,m,k be an edge colored version, where we color each edge randomly from one of κ colors. We show that if κ = n and m = Kn log n where K is sufficiently ..."

Rainbow Hamilton cycles in uniform hypergraphs
"... be the complete k-uniform hypergraph, k ≥ 3, and let ℓ be an integer such that 1 ≤ ℓ ≤ k − 1 and k − ℓ divides n. An ℓ-overlapping Hamilton cycle in K (k) n is a spanning subhypergraph C of K (k) n with n/(k − ℓ) edges and such that for some cyclic ordering of the vertices each edge of C consists of ..."

Independence and Matchings in σ-hypergraphs
"... Let σ be a partition of the positive integer r. A σ-hypergraph H = H(n, r, q|σ) is an r-uniform hypergraph on nq vertices which are parti-tioned into n classes V1, V2,..., Vn each containing q vertices. An r-subset K of vertices is an edge of the hypergraph if the partition of r formed by the non-ze ..."

Coverings and Matchings in r-Partite Hypergraphs

"... Ryser’s conjecture postulates that, for r-partite hypergraphs, τ ≤ (r − 1)ν where τ is the covering number of the hypergraph and ν is the matching number. Although this conjecture has been open since the 1960’s, researchers have resolved it for special cases such as for intersecting hypergraphs wher ..."

Rainbow matchings in r-partite r-graphs
"... Given a collection of matchings M = (M1,M2,...,Mq) (repetitions allowed), a matching M contained in ⋃ M is said to be s-rainbow for M if it contains representatives from s matchings Mi (where each edge is allowed to represent just one Mi). Formally, this means that there is a function φ: M → [q] suc ..."

] such that e ∈ M φ(e) for all e ∈ M, and |Im(φ) | � s. Let f(r,s,t) be the maximal k for which there exists a set of k matchings of size t in some r-partite hypergraph, such that there is no s-rainbow matching of size t. We prove that f(r,s,t) � 2 r−1 (s − 1), make the conjecture that equality holds for all
On Linear and Semidefinite Programming Relaxations for Hypergraph Matching
"... The hypergraph matching problem is to find a largest collection of disjoint hyperedges in a hypergraph. This is a well-studied problem in combinatorial optimization and graph theory with various applications. The best known approximation algorithms for this problem are all local search algorithms.

proof of a result of Füredi, Kahn and Seymour, showing that the integrality gap is exactly k − 1 + 1/k for k-uniform hypergraphs, and is exactly k − 1 for k-partite hypergraphs. This yields an improved approximation algorithm for the weighted 3-dimensional matching problem. Our algorithm combines
