A 3-uniform hypergraph is called a minimum 3-tree, if for any 3-coloring of its vertex set there is a heterochromatic triple and the hypergraph has the minimum possible number of triples. There is a conjecture that the number of triples in such 3-tree is ⎡(n(n-2))/3⎤ for any number of vertices n. Here we give a proof of this conjecture for any n ≡ 0,1 mod 12.
Keywords: tight hypergraphs, triple systems
