Abstract

The limit concentration of the values of the chromatic number of the random hyper-graph H(n, k, p) in the binomial model is studied. It is proved that, for a fixed k ⩾ 3 and with not too rapidly increasing nk−1p, the chromatic number of the hypergraph H(n, k, p) lies, with probability tending to 1, in the set of two consecutive values. Moreover, it is shown that, under slightly stronger constraints on the growth of nk−1p, these values can be explicitly evaluated as functions of n and p.
