Abstract: We study the existence of powers of Hamiltonian cycles in graphs with large minimum degree to which some additional edges have been added in a random manner. It follows from the theorems of Dirac and of Koml'os, Sark"ozy, and Szemer'edi that for every kgeq1 and sufficiently large n already the minimum degree delta(G)gefrackk+1n for an n-vertex graph G alone suffices to ensure the existence of a k-th power of a Hamiltonian cycle. Here we show that under essentially the same degree assumption the addition of just O(n) random edges ensures the presence of the (k+1)-st power of a Hamiltonian cycle with probability close to one.
