Abstract

We generalize the concept of exclusive sum labelings of graphs (cf. Miller et al., JCMCC 55:137–148, 2005) and determine the exclusive sum number for several classes of hypergraphs. The results disclose a significant difference between graphs (i.e. 2-uniform hypergraphs) and “genuine” hypergraphs.
