Finding Set Extreme 3-Uniform Hypergraphs Cardinality through Second-Order Signatures

Abstract

This paper continues the study of second-order signature properties—the characterization of the extreme 3-uniform hypergraph. Previously, bases were used to count extreme 3-uniform hypergraphs. However, the algorithm using this mechanism is extremely labor-intensive. The structure of the signature allows us to use it as a more efficient basis for the same problem. Here, we establish the nature of the mutual correspondence between the kind of second-order signature and extreme hypergraphs, and we present a new algorithm to find the power of the set of extreme 3-uniform hypergraphs through the set of their characteristic-signatures. New results obtained with the proposed tool are also presented.
