Defective colouring of hypergraphs

We prove that the vertices of every (r + 1)-uniform hypergraph with maximum degree ∆ may be coloured with c( ∆ d+1 ) 1/r colours such that each vertex is in at most d monochromatic edges. This result, which is best possible up to the value of the constant c, generalises the classical result of Erdos...

Summary:We prove that the vertices of every (r + 1)-uniform hypergraph with maximum degree ∆ may be coloured with c( ∆ d+1 ) 1/r colours such that each vertex is in at most d monochromatic edges. This result, which is best possible up to the value of the constant c, generalises the classical result of Erdos and Lov ˝ asz who proved the ´ d = 0 case.
