Hypergraph - Partitions

Partitions

A partition theorem due to E. Dauber states that, for an edge-transitive hypergraph, there exists a partition

of the vertex set such that the subhypergraph generated by is transitive for each, and such that

where is the rank of H.

As a corollary, an edge-transitive hypergraph that is not vertex-transitive is bicolorable.

Graph partitioning (and in particular, hypergraph partitioning) has many applications to IC design and parallel computing.
