چکیده

The standard paradigm for online power of two choices problems in random graphs is the Achlioptas process. Here we consider the following natural generalization: Starting with G0 as the empty graph on n vertices, in every step a set of r edges is drawn uniformly at random from all edges that have not been drawn in previous steps. From these, one edge has to be selected, and the remaining r − 1 edges are discarded. Thus after N steps, we have seen rN edges, and selected exactly N out of these to create a graph GN . In a recent paper by Krivelevich, Loh, and Sudakov [10], the problem of avoiding a copy of some fixed graph F in GN for as long as possible is considered, and a threshold result is derived for some special cases. Moreover, the authors conjecture a general threshold formula for arbitrary graphs F . In this work we disprove this conjecture and give the complete solution of the problem by deriving explicit threshold functions N0(F, r, n) for arbitrary graphs F and any fixed integer r. That is, we propose an edge selection strategy that a.a.s. (asymptotically almost surely, i.e. with probability 1−o(1) as n → ∞) avoids creating a copy of F for as long as N = o(N0), and prove that any online strategy will a.a.s. create such a copy once N = ω(N0).

TOTAL DOMINATION POLYNOMIAL OF GRAPHS FROM PRIMARY SUBGRAPHS

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$. The total dominating set is a subset $D$ of $V$ that every vertex of $V$ is adjacent to some vertices of $D$. The total domination number of $G$ is equal to minimum cardinality of total dominating set in $G$ and denoted by $gamma_t(G)$. The total domination polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial $D_t(G,x)=sum d_t(G,i)$, where $d_t(G,i)$ is the numbe...

Perfect Matchings in Edge-Transitive Graphs

We find recursive formulae for the number of perfect matchings in a graph G by splitting G into subgraphs H and Q. We use these formulas to count perfect matching of P hypercube Qn. We also apply our formulas to prove that the number of perfect matching in an edge-transitive graph is , where denotes the number of perfect matchings in G, is the graph constructed from by deleting edges with an en...

3-star Factors in Random D-regular Graphs

The small subgraph conditioning method first appeared when Robinson and the second author showed the almost sure hamiltonicity of random d-regular graphs. Since then it has been used to study the almost sure existence of, and the asymptotic distribution of, regular spanning subgraphs of various types in random d-regular graphs and hypergraphs. In this paper, we use the method to prove the almos...

Models of random regular graphs

This is a survey of results on properties of random regular graphs, together with an exposition of some of the main methods of obtaining these results. Related results on asymptotic enumeration are also presented, as well as various generalisations to random graphs with given degree sequence. A major feature in this area is the small subgraph conditioning method. When applicable, this establish...
