Abstract:

About the Katona-Kierstead definition of a Hamiltonian cycles in a uniform hypergraph, a decomposition of complete k-uniform hypergraph Kn(k) into Hamiltonian cycles studied by Bailey-Stevens and Meszka-Rosa. For n≡2,4,5 (mod 6), we design algorithm for decomposing the complete 3-uniform hypergraphs into Hamiltonian cycles by using the method of edge-partition. A decomposition of Kn(3) into 5-cycles has been presented for all admissible n≤17, and for all n=4m +1, m is a positive integer. In general, the existence of a decomposition into 5-cycles remains open. In this paper, we use the method of edge-partition and cycle sequence proposed by Jirimutu and Wang. We find a decomposition of K20(3) into 5-cycles.
