Abstract

top
Frankl and Rödl [3] proved a strong regularity lemma for 3-uniform hypergraphs, based on the concept of δ-regularity with respect to an underlying 3-partite graph. In applications of that lemma it is often important to be able to "glue" together separate pieces of the desired subhypergraph. With this goal in mind, in this paper it is proved that every pair of typical edges of the underlying graph can be connected by a hyperpath of length at most seven. The typicality of edges is defined in terms of graph and hypergraph neighborhoods, and it is shown that all but a small fraction of edges are indeed typical.
