Abstract:

We determine the order of magnitude of the minimum clique cover of the edges of a binomial, $r$-uniform, random hypergraph $G^{(r)}(n,p)$, $p$ fixed. In doing so, we combine the ideas from the proofs of the graph case ($r=2$) in Frieze and Reed [Covering the edges of a random graph by cliques, Combinatorica 15 (1995) 489–497] and Guo, Patten, Warnke [Prague dimension of random graphs, manuscript submitted for publication].

Keywords:

$r$-uniform random hypergraph, clique covering
