Bounded-Degree Spanning Trees in Randomly Perturbed Graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding trees into fixed dense graphs and into random graphs, and extends a sizeable body of existing research on randomly perturbed graphs. Specifically, we show that there is c=c(alpha,Delta) such that if G is an n-vertex graph with minimum degree at least alphan, and T is an n-vertex tree with maximum degree at most Delta , then if we add cn uniformly random edges to G, the resulting graph will contain T asymptotically almost surely (as noinfty ). Our proof uses a lemma concerning the decomposition of a dense graph into super-regular pairs of comparable sizes, which may be of independent interest.
