In [1] the concepts of paths and cycles of a hypergraph were introduced. In this paper, we give the concepts for bipartite hypergraph and Hamiltonian paths and cycles of a hypergraph, and prove that the complete bipartite 3-hypergraph with q vertices in earh part is Hamiltonian decomposable where q is a prime.
Abstract Acyclic hypergraphs are analogues of forests in graphs.They are very useful in the design ofdatabases. In this article,the maximum size of an acvclic hypergraph is determined and the number of maximumγ-uniform acyclic hypergraphs of order n is shown to be (r-1n)(n(r-1)-r2+2r)n-r-1.
