Dirac's theorem for random graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A classical theorem of Dirac from 1952 asserts that every graph on n vertices with minimum degree at least lceiln/2ceil is Hamiltonian. In this paper we extend this result to random graphs. Motivated by the study of resilience of random graph properties we prove that if pgglogn/n, then a.a.s. every subgraph of G(n,p) with minimum degree at least (1/2+o(1))np is Hamiltonian. Our result improves on previously known bounds, and answers an open problem of Sudakov and Vu. Both, the range of edge probability p and the value of the constant 1/2 are asymptotically best possible.
