Abstract
Let H be a hypergraph. A matching in H is a set of pairwise disjoint edges of H. A cover of H is a set C of vertices that meets all edges of H. We discuss a number of conjectures and results that bound the minimum size of a cover of H in terms of the maximum size of a matching in H, for various classes of hypergraph H. For example, we consider r-partite hypergraphs and triangle hypergraphs.
