Abstract

For a pair of integers 1 ≤ γ < r, the γ-chromatic number of an r-uniform hypergraph H = (V, E) is the minimal k, for which there exists a partition of V into subsets T1, . . . , Tk such that |e ∩ Ti| ≤ γ for every e ∈ E. In this paper we determine the asymptotic behavior of the γ-chromatic number of the random r-uniform hypergraph Hr(n, p) for all possible values of γ and for all values of p down to p = Θ(n-r+1).
