The notion of transversal is fundamental to hypergraph theory and has been studied extensively. Very few articles have discussed bounds on the transversal number for linear hypergraphs, even though these bounds are integral components in many applications. This book is one of the first to give strong non-trivial bounds on the transversal number for linear hypergraphs. The discussion may lead to further study of those problems which have not been solved completely, and may also inspire the readers to raise new questions and research directions. The book is written with two readerships in mind. The first is the graduate student who may wish to work on open problems in the area or is interested in exploring the field of transversals in hypergraphs. This exposition will go far to familiarize the student with the subject, the research techniques, and the major accomplishments in the field. The photographs included allow the reader to associate faces with several researchers who made important discoveries and contributions to the subject. The second audience is the established researcher in hypergraph theory who will benefit from having easy access to known results and latest developments in the field of transversals in linear hypergraphs. 410 0$aDevelopments in Mathematics,$x1389-2177 ;$v63 606 $aGraph theory 606 $aGraph Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29020 615 0$aGraph theory. 615 14$aGraph Theory. 676 $a511.5 700 $aHenning$b Michael A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0853538 702 $aYeo$b Anders$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418251203316 996 $aTransversals in Linear Uniform Hypergraphs$92311014 997 $aUNISA
