Abstract: Let H=(V,E) be a hypergraph, where V is a set of vertices and E is a set of non-empty subsets of V called edges. If all edges of H have the same cardinality r, then H is a r-uniform hypergraph; if E consists of all r-subsets of V, then H is a complete r-uniform hypergraph, denoted by Knr, where n=|V|. A r-uniform hypergraph H=(V,E) is (k,l)-edge-maximal if every subhypergraph H′ of H with |V(H′)|geql has edge-connectivity at most k, but for any edge einE(Knr)setminusE(H), H+e contains at least one subhypergraph H″ with |V(H″)|geql and edge-connectivity at least k+1. In this paper, we obtain the lower bounds and the upper bounds of the sizes of (k,l)-edge-maximal hypergraphs. Furthermore, we show that these bounds are best possible. Thus prior results in [Y.Z. Tian, L.Q. Xu, H.-J. Lai, J.X. Meng, On the sizes of k-edge-maximal r-uniform hypergraphs, arXiv:1802.08843v3] are extended.


An \(r\)-uniform hypergraph \(H = (V, E)\) where \(|V(H)|=n\) is said to be \((k, l)\)-edge-maximal if every subhypergraph \(H^\prime\) of \(H\) with \(|V (H^\prime)| \geq l\) has edge-connectivity at most \(k\), but for any edge \(e \in E(K_{n}^{r}) \backslash E(H), H + e\) contains at least one subhypergraph \(H^{\prime\prime}\) with \(|V (H^{\prime\prime})| \geq l\) and edge-connectivity at least \(k+1\). In this paper, the authors obtain lower and upper bounds of the sizes of \((k, l)\)-edge-maximal \(r\)-hypergraphs of order \(n\) and show that these bounds are best possible.
