Abstract

Let F"0 be a fixed k-uniform hypergraph. The problem of finding the integer F"0-packing number @n"F"""0(H) of a k-uniform hypergraph H is an NP-hard problem. Finding the fractional F"0-packing number @n"F"""0^*(H) however can be done in polynomial time. In this paper we give a lower bound for the integer F"0-packing number @n"F"""0(H) in terms of @n"F"""0^*(H) and show that @n"F"""0(H)=@n"F"""0^*(H)-o(|V(H)|^k).
