High powers of Hamiltonian cycles in randomly augmented graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We investigate 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. For all integers kgeq1, rgeq0, and ellgeq(r+1)r, and for any alpha>frackk+1 we show that adding O(n2−2/ell) random edges to an n-vertex graph G with minimum degree at least alphan yields, with probability close to one, the existence of the (kell+r)-th power of a Hamiltonian cycle. In particular, for r=1 and ell=2 this implies that adding O(n) random edges to such a graph G already ensures the (2k+1)-st power of a Hamiltonian cycle (proved independently by Nenadov and Truji'c). In this instance and for several other choices of k, ell, and r we can show that our result is asymptotically optimal.
