The smallest one-realization of a given set IV

Abstract

Let $S$ be a finite set of positive integers. A mixed hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is a one-realization of $S$ if its feasible set is $S$ and each entry of its chromatic spectrum is either 0 or 1. In [P. Zhao, K. Diao, Y. Chang and K. Wang, The smallest one-realization of a given set \uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2}, Discrete Math. 312 (2012) 2946--2951], we determined the minimum number of vertices of a 3-uniform bi-hypergraph which is a one-realization of $S$. In this paper, we generalize this result to $r$-uniform bi-hypergraphs.
