Abstract: It was conjectured by Ohba and confirmed recently by Noel et al. that, for any graph G, if |V(G)|le2chi(G)+1 then chil(G)=chi(G). This indicates that the graphs with high chromatic number are chromatic-choosable. We show that this is also the case for uniform hypergraphs and further propose a generalized version of Ohba's conjecture: for any r-uniform hypergraph H with rgeq2, if |V(H)|lerchi(H)+r1 then chil(H)=chi(H). We show that the condition of the proposed conjecture is sharp by giving two classes of r-uniform hypergraphs H with |V(H)|=rchi(H)+r and chil(H)>chi(H). To support the conjecture, we give two classes of r-uniform hypergraphs H with |V(H)|=rchi(H)+r1 and prove that chil(H)=chi(H).
