We prove the asymptotically best possible result that, for every integer k 2, every 3-uniform graph with m edges has a vertex-partition into k sets such that each set contains at most (1+o(1)) mÂk 3 edges. We also consider related problems and conjecture a more general result. 1997 Academic Press

✦ Synopsis
A conjecture of Bollobás and Thomason asserts that, for r ≥ 1, every r -uniform hypergraph with m edges can be partitioned into r classes such that every class meets at least rm/(2r -1) edges. Bollobás, Reed and Thomason [3] proved that there is a partition in which every edge meets at least (1 -1/e)m/3 ≈ 0.21m edges. Our main aim is to improve this result for r = 3. We prove that every 3-uniform hypergraph with m edges can be partitioned into three classes, each of which meets at least (5m -1)/9 edges. We also prove that for r > 3 we may demand 0.27m edges.

## Abstract We prove results on partitioning graphs __G__ with bounded maximum degree. In particular, we provide optimal bounds for bipartitions __V__(__G__) = __V__~1~ ∪ __V__~2~ in which we minimize {__e__(__V__~1~), __e__(__V__~2~)}. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 46: 131–143, 200
It is known that the class of line graphs of linear 3-uniform hypergraphs cannot be characterized by a finite list of forbidden induced subgraphs (R. N.
We review 28 uniform partitions of 3-space in order to find out which of them have graphs (skeletons) embeddable isometrically (or with scale 2) into some cubic lattice Z n . We also consider some relatives of those 28 partitions, including Archimedean 4-polytopes of Conway-Guy, non-compact uniform
## Abstract The well‐known Friendship Theorem states that if __G__ is a graph in which every pair of vertices has exactly one common neighbor, then __G__ has a single vertex joined to all others (a “universal friend”). V. Sós defined an analogous friendship property for 3‐uniform hypergraphs, and g
