Extremal results in random graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: According to Paul ErdH{o}s [Some notes on Tur'an's mathematical work, J. Approx. Theory 29 (1980), page 4] it was Paul Tur'an who "created the area of extremal problems in graph theory". However, without a doubt, Paul ErdH{o}s popularized extremal combinatorics, by his many contributions to the field, his numerous questions and conjectures, and his influence on discrete mathematicians in Hungary and all over the world. In fact, most of the early contributions in this field can be traced back to Paul ErdH{o}s, Paul Tur'an, as well as their collaborators and students. Paul ErdH{o}s also established the probabilistic method in discrete mathematics, and in collaboration with Alfr'ed R'enyi, he started the systematic study of random graphs. We shall survey recent developments at the interface of extremal combinatorics and random graph theory.
