Hypertrees (Q1808971): Difference between revisions

A generalization of the notion of tree to hypergraphs is introduced. A hypergraph \(H\) is called a hypertree, when the removal of any edge from \(H\) results in a disconnected hypergraph. Several basic properties and characterizations of hypertrees are discussed, amongst others with respect to cycles, bi-colorability, the dual, the transversal and the conformality.
