Abstract: Given an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V,E)$ and a weight function $omega:Eo1,dots,w$, a coloring of vertices of $H$, induced by $omega$, is defined by $c(v)=su{m}_{eiv}w(e)$ for all $vinV$. If there exists such a coloring that is strong (that means in each edge no color appears more than once), then we say that $H$ is strongly $w$-weighted. Similarly, if the coloring is weak (that means there is no monochromatic edge), then we say that $H$ is weakly $w$-weighted. In this paper, we show that almost all 3 or 4-uniform hypergraphs are strongly 2-weighted (but not 1-weighted) and almost all $5$-uniform hypergraphs are either 1 or 2 strongly weighted (with a nontrivial distribution). Furthermore, for $rge6$ we show that almost all $r$-uniform hypergraphs are strongly 1-weighted. We complement these results by showing that almost all 3-uniform hypergraphs are weakly 2-weighted but not 1-weighted and for $rge4$ almost all $r$-uniform hypergraphs are weakly 1-weighted. These results extend a previous work of Addario-Berry, Dalal and Reed for graphs. We also prove general lower bounds and show that there are $r$-uniform hypergraphs which are not strongly $(r^2-r)$-weighted and not weakly 2-weighted. Finally, we show that determining whether a particular uniform hypergraph is strongly 2-weighted is NP-complete.
