Loose Hamilton Cycles in Regular Hypergraphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We establish a relation between two uniform models of random k-graphs (for constant kge3) on n labeled vertices: H(n,m), the random k-graph with exactly m edges, and H(n,d), the random d-regular k-graph. By extending to k-graphs the switching technique of McKay and Wormald, we show that, for some range of d=d(n) and a constant c>0, if msimcnd, then one can couple H(n,m) and H(n,d) so that the latter contains the former with probability tending to one as noinfty. In view of known results on the existence of a loose Hamilton cycle in H(n,m), we conclude that H(n,d) contains a loose Hamilton cycle when logn=o(d) (or just dgeClogn, if k=3) and d=o(n1/2).
