Bounding the Number of Minimal Transversals in Tripartite 3-Uniform HypergraphsArticle
4 Institute of Computer Science [University of Tartu, Estonie]
We focus on the maximum number of minimal transversals in 3-partite 3-uniform hypergraphs on n vertices. Those hypergraphs (and their minimal transversals) are commonly found in database applications. In this paper we prove that this number grows at least like 1.4977^n and at most like 1.5012^n.
