For a graph $G$, $f(G)$ is the bipartition number of $G$ which was introduced by Graham and Pollak in 1971. In 1988, Erd\\H{o}s conjectured that if $G \\in G(n,1/2)$, then with high probability $f(G)=n-\\alpha(G)$, where $\\alpha(G)$ is the independence number of $G$. This conjecture and related problems have received a lot of attention recently. In this paper, we study the value of $f(H)$ for a typical $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$. More precisely, we prove that if $(\\log n)^{2.001}/n \\leq p \\leq 1/2$ and $H \\in H^{(r)}(n,p)$, then with high probability $f(H)=(1-\\pi(K^{(r-1)}_r)+o(1))\\binom{n}{r-1}$, where $\\pi(K^{(r-1)}_r)$ is the Tur\\'an density of $K^{(r-1)}_r$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-16T08:20:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C80" ], "keywords": [ "random hypergraphs", "decomposition", "uniform hypergraph", "high probability", "edge sets partition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151004814P" } } }
