title: Matchings and Hamilton cycles in hypergraphs
keywords: matchings, Hamilton cycles, packings, uniform hypergraphs
abstract: It is well known that every bipartite graph with vertex classes of size
n
whose minimum degree is at least
n/2
contains a perfect matching. We prove an analogue of this result for uniform hypergraphs. We also provide an analogue of Dirac's theorem on Hamilton cycles for
3
-uniform hypergraphs: We say that a
3
-uniform hypergraph has a Hamilton cycle if there is a cyclic ordering of its vertices such that every pair of consecutive vertices lies in a hyperedge which consists of three consecutive vertices. We prove that for every
ε> 0
there is an
n
0
such that every
3
-uniform hypergraph of order
n ≥n
0
whose minimum degree is at least
n/4+εn
contains a Hamilton cycle. Our bounds on the minimum degree are essentially best possible.

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.
