Long Paths and Cycles in Random Subgraphs of H-free Graphs

چکیده

Let H be a given (possibly empty) family of connected graphs, each containing a cycle, and let G be a arbitrary finite H-free graph with minimum degree at least k. For p ∈ [0, 1], we form the p-random subgraph Gp of G by independently keeping each edge of G with probability p. Extending a classical result of Ajtai, Komlós, and Szemerédi, we prove that for every positive ε, there exists a positive δ (depending only on ε) such that the following holds: If p > 1+ε k , then with probability tending to 1 as k → ∞, the random graph Gp contains a cycle of length at least δ ·nH(k), where nH(k) > k is the minimum number of vertices in an H-free graph of average degree at least k. Thus in particular Gp as above typically contains a cycle of length at least linear in k.

Weights of induced subgraphs in K1, r-free graphs

Let H be a subgraph of a given graph G. The weight w(H) = v∈V (H) d G (v) is the sum of the degrees of all vertices of H in G. Investigations of this parameter are initiated by the beautiful result of Kotzig in 1955 who proved that every planar graphs contains an edge of weight at most 13. Meanwhile there are many results for planar graphs and graphs embedded on general surfaces concerning the ...

Characterization of signed paths and cycles admitting minus dominating function

If G = (V, E, σ) is a finite signed graph, a function f : V → {−1, 0, 1} is a minusdominating function (MDF) of G if f(u) +summation over all vertices v∈N(u) of σ(uv)f(v) ≥ 1 for all u ∈ V . In this paper we characterize signed paths and cycles admitting an MDF.

Long paths and Hamiltonicity in random graphs

We discuss several classical results about long paths and Hamilton cycles in random graphs and present accessible versions of their proofs, relying on the Depth First Search (DFS) algorithm and the notion of boosters.

Long paths and cycles in random subgraphs of graphs with large minimum degree

For a given finite graph G of minimum degree at least k, let Gp be a random subgraph of G obtained by taking each edge independently with probability p. We prove that (i) if p ≥ ω/k for a function ω = ω(k) that tends to infinity as k does, then Gp asymptotically almost surely contains a cycle (and thus a path) of length at least (1− o(1))k, and (ii) if p ≥ (1 + o(1)) ln k/k, then Gp asymptotica...
