For an integer n, let t(n, K_4^3-2e) denote the smallest integer d so that every 3-uniform hypergraph G of order n with minimum pair-degree \\delta_2(G) \\geq d contains \\floor{n/4} vertex-disjoint copies of K_4^3-2e. K\\\"uhn and Osthus proved that t(n, K_4^3-2e) = (1 + o(1))n/4 holds for large integers n. Here, we prove the exact counterpart, that for all sufficiently large integers n divisible by 4, t(n, K_4^3-2e) = n/4 when n/4 is odd, and t(n, K_4^3-2e) = n/4+1 when n/4 is even. A main ingredient in our proof is the recent `absorption technique' of R\\\"odl, Ruci\\'nski and Szemer\\'edi.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-12-10T22:19:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C35", "05C65", "05C70" ], "keywords": [ "hypergraph", "minimum pair-degree", "vertex-disjoint copies", "smallest integer", "exact counterpart" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1108.4140C" } } }
