We investigate the relationship between two kinds of vertex colorings of hypergraphs: unique-maximum colorings and conflict-free colorings. In a unique-maximum coloring, the colors are ordered, and in every hyperedge of the hypergraph the maximum color appears only once. In a conflict-free coloring, in every hyperedge of the hypergraph there is a color that appears only once. We define corresponding unique-maximum and conflict-free chromatic numbers and investigate their relationship in arbitrary hypergraphs. Then, we concentrate on hypergraphs that are induced by simple paths in tree graphs.

  1. Strong Sparsification for 1-in-3-SAT via Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa

    cs.DS 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Introduces strong sparsification for 1-in-3-SAT by merging variables, relying on a sub-quadratic vector-set bound derived from the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa Theorem, with an application to hypergraph coloring approximation.
