Optimal induced universal graphs for bounded-degree graphs

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We show that for any constant Deltage2, there exists a graph G with O(nDelta/2) vertices which contains every n-vertex graph with maximum degree Delta as an induced subgraph. For odd Delta this significantly improves the best-known earlier bound of Esperet et al. and is optimal up to a constant factor, as it is known that any such graph must have at least Omega(nDelta/2) vertices. Our proof builds on the approach of Alon and Capalbo (SODA 2008) together with several additional ingredients. The construction of G is explicit and is based on an appropriately defined composition of high-girth expander graphs. The proof also provides an efficient deterministic procedure for finding, for any given input graph H on n vertices with maximum degree at most Delta, an induced subgraph of G isomorphic to H.
