Factors in random graphs

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Let H be a fixed graph on v vertices. For an n-vertex graph G with n divisible by v, an H-{em factor} of G is a collection of n/v copies of H whose vertex sets partition V(G). In this paper we consider the threshold thH(n) of the property that an ErdH{o}s-R'enyi random graph (on n points) contains an H-factor. Our results determine thH(n) for all strictly balanced H. The method here extends with no difficulty to hypergraphs. As a corollary, we obtain the threshold for a perfect matching in random k-uniform hypergraph, solving the well-known "Shamir's problem."
