Spanning universality in random graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A graph is said to be mathcalH(n,Delta)-universal if it contains every graph on n vertices with maximum degree at most Delta. Using a `matching-based' embedding technique introduced by Alon and F"uredi, Dellamonica, Kohayakawa, R"odl and Ruci'nski showed that the random graph Gn,p is asymptotically almost surely mathcalH(n,Delta)-universal for p=ildeOmega(n−1/Delta) - a threshold for the property that every subset of Delta vertices has a common neighbour. This bound has become a benchmark in the field and many subsequent results on embedding spanning structures of maximum degree Delta in random graphs are proven only up to this threshold. We take a step towards overcoming limitations of former techniques by showing that Gn,p is almost surely mathcalH(n,Delta)-universal for p=ildeOmega(n−1/(Delta−1/2)).
