Title
Packing and covering tetrahedra
Abstract
Let H be a d-uniform hypergraph that has a geometric realization in R^d. We show that there is a set C of edges of H that meets all copies of the complete subhypergraph K"d"+"1^d in H with |C|@?(@?d2@?+1)@n(H), where @n(H) denotes the maximum size of a set of pairwise edge-disjoint copies of K"d"+"1^d in H. This generalizes a result of Tuza on planar graphs. For d=3 we also prove two fractional weakenings of the same statement for arbitrary 3-uniform hypergraphs.
