Let H be a k + 1 -uniform, D-regular hypergraph on n vertices and let H be the minimum number of vertices left uncovered by a matching in H. C j H , the j-codegree of H, is the maximum number of edges sharing a set of j vertices in common. We prove a general upper bound on H , based on the codegree

β¦ Synopsis
Given an r-uniform hypergraph H = (V, E ) on ( V ( = n vertices, a real-valued function
f(e) 5 1 for all u E V and C e E E f(e) = n/r. Considering a random r-uniform hypergraph process of n vertices, we show that with probability tending to 1 as n + m , at the very moment to when the last isolated vertex disappears, the hypergraph H,, has a perfect fractional matching. This result is clearly best possible. As a consequence, we derive that if p(n) = (Inn + w(n))/ (;I;), where w(n) is any function tending to infinity with n, then with probability tending to 1 a random r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices with edge probability p has a perfect fractional matching. Similar results hold also for random r-partite hypergraphs.

A minimal blocker in a bipartite graph G is a minimal set of edges the removal of which leaves no perfect matching in G. We give an explicit characterization of the minimal blockers of a bipartite graph G. This result allows us to obtain a polynomial delay algorithm for finding all minimal blockers

## Abstract It is well known that every bipartite graph with vertex classes of size __n__ whose minimum degree is at least __n__/2 contains a perfect matching. We prove an analog of this result for hypergraphs. We also prove several related results that guarantee the existence of almost perfect mat
The choice number of a hypergraph H=(V, E) is the least integer s for which, for every family of color lists S=[S(v): v # V], satisfying |S(v)|=s for every v # V, there exists a choice function f so that f (v) # S(v) for every v # V, and no edge of H is monochromatic under f. In this paper we consid
