An r-uniform hypergraph is a structure H = (V, E), where V is a set of nodes and E is a collection of subsets of the nodes, called edges, each of which has size r. H is complete with p I> r nodes if it has all possible (~) edges and is empty if it has no edges. The complement of H is the r-uniform h

✦ Synopsis
Two wide classes of hypergraphs are proved to be enumerated by P-recursive sequences. The open problem of enumerating minimal coverings that are multipartite hypergraphs receives a qualitative-type answer.

Burr recently proved [3] that for positive integers m , , m 2 , . . , , m, and any graph G we have x(G) 5 &, if and only if G can be expressed as the edge disjoint union of subgraphs F, satisfying x(F,) 5 m,. This theorem is generalized to hypergraphs. By suitable interpretations the generalization
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.
