摘要
A hypergraph is equitably k-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into k sets/color classes in such a way that monochromatic edges are avoided and the number of vertices in any two color classes differs by at most one. We prove that the problem of equitable 2-coloring of hypergraphs is NP-complete even for 3-uniform hyperstars. Finally, we apply the method of dynamic programming for designing a polynomial-time algorithm to equitably k-color linear hypertrees, where k >= 2 is fixed. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
