Hamiltonicity of graphs perturbed by a random regular graph

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study Hamiltonicity and pancyclicity in the graph obtained as the union of a deterministic n-vertex graph H with delta(H)geqalphan and a random d-regular graph G, for din1,2. When G is a random 2-regular graph, we prove that a.a.s. HcupG is pancyclic for all alphain(0,1], and also extend our result to a range of sublinear degrees. When G is a random 1-regular graph, we prove that a.a.s. HcupG is pancyclic for all alphain(sqrt2−1,1], and this result is best possible. Furthermore, we show that this bound on delta(H) is only needed when H is `far' from containing a perfect matching, as otherwise we can show results analogous to those of random 2-regular graphs. Our proofs provide polynomial-time algorithms to find cycles of any length.
