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). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
