Load balancing and orientability thresholds for random hypergraphs

Abstract: Let h>w>0 be two fixed integers. Let orH be a random hypergraph whose hyperedges are all of cardinality h. To {em w-orient} a hyperedge, we assign exactly w of its vertices positive signs with respect to the hyperedge, and the rest negative. A (w,k)-orientation of orH consists of a w-orientation of all hyperedges of orH, such that each vertex receives at most k positive signs from its incident hyperedges. When k is large enough, we determine the threshold of the existence of a (w,k)-orientation of a random hypergraph. The (w,k)-orientation of hypergraphs is strongly related to a general version of the off-line load balancing problem. The graph case, when h=2 and w=1, was solved recently by Cain, Sanders and Wormald and independently by Fernholz and Ramachandran, which settled a conjecture of Karp and Saks.
