Bachelor's Thesis

Title Interval Colorings of Graphs
Supervisor Professor Dr. Maria Axenovich
Description This thesis is devoted to a particular edge coloring problem, that of interval colorability: A graph $G$ is called interval colorable if there is an assignment of integers to its edges such that each vertex is incident to edges colored by a set of consecutive integers and there are no two adjacent edges of the same color.
Grade 1.0

Master's Thesis

Title On the Existence of Steiner Triple Systems in 3-uniform Hypergraphs
Supervisor Professor Dr. Mathias Schacht
Description This thesis concerns itself with a possible generalization of Dirac’s theorem for perfect matchings, one of the fundamental results in graph theory. More specifically, we study the minimum codegree threshold for a 3-uniform hypergraph to contain a (spanning) Steiner triple system, which can be seen as the ‘‘higher-dimensional’’ analogue of a perfect matching.
Grade 1.0
