Conjecture Let
be a simple
-uniform hypergraph, and assume that every set of
points is contained in at most
edges. Then there exists an
-edge-coloring so that any two edges which share
vertices have distinct colors.






Vizing's Theorem is equivalent to the above statement for . For higher dimensions, this problem looks difficult since the main tool used in the proof of Vizing's theorem (Kempe chains) do not appear to work.
