The present paper connects sharpenings of Sauer's bound on
forbidden configurations with color critical hypergraphs.
We define a matrix to be simple if it is a
(0,1)-matrix with no repeated columns. Let
F
be a
k× l
(0,1)-matrix (the forbidden configuration). Assume
A
is an
m× n
simple matrix which has no submatrix which is a row
and column permutation of
F
. We define
forb
(m,F)
n
, for such a matrix
A
, which depends on
m
and
F
. It is known that
forb
(m,F)=O(m
k
)
F
, and Sauer's bond states that
forb
(m,F)=O(m
k-1
)
F
. We give sufficient condition for non-simple
F
to have the same bound using linear algebra methods
to prove a generalization of a result of Lovász on
color critical hypergraphs.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
