Popis: We investigate the relationship between two kinds of vertex colorings of hypergraphs: unique-maximum (UM) colorings and conflict-free (CF) colorings. In a UM coloring, the colors are ordered, and in every hyperedge of the hypergraph the maximum color in the hyperedge occurs in only one vertex of the hyperedge. In a CF coloring, in every hyperedge of the hypergraph there exists a color in the hyperedge that occurs in only one vertex of the hyperedge. We consider the corresponding UM and CF chromatic numbers and investigate their relationship in arbitrary hypergraphs. Then, we concentrate on hypergraphs that are induced by simple paths in tree graphs.
