Abstract

In this article we present the L2-section, a tool used to represent a hypergraph in terms of an "advanced graph" and results leading to first algorithm, in O(nm), for a bounded-rank, bounded-degree hypergraph H, which factorizes H in prime factors. The paper puts a premium on the characterization of the prime factors of a hypergraph, by exploiting isomorphisms between the layers in the 2-section, as returned by a standard graph factorization algorithm, such as the one designed by IMRICH and PETERIN.
