A classical theorem of Claude Shannon states that for any multigraph G without loops, χ (G) ≤ 3 2 (G) . We suggest a generalization of Shannon's theorem to hypergraphs and prove it in case of hypergraphs without repeated edges of size 2.

We consider a natural generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph. Let the symbol f (x 1 ,...,x m ) (H, λ) denote a number of different λ-colourings of a hypergraph H = (X, E), where X = {v 1 , . . . , v n } and E = {e 1 , . . . , e m }, satisfying that in an edge e i there are used at lea
For a pair of integers 1 F ␥r, the ␥-chromatic number of an r-uniform Ž . hypergraph H s V, E is the minimal k, for which there exists a partition of V into subsets < < T, . . . , T such that e l T F ␥ for every e g E. In this paper we determine the asymptotic 1 k i Ž . behavior of the ␥-chromatic n
