Abstract

Given a collection G=(G1,,Gh)\mathcal{G}=(G_1,\dots, G_h) of graphs on the same vertex set VV of size nn, an hh-edge graph HH on the vertex set VV is a G\mathcal{G}-transversal if there exists a bijection λ:E(H)[h]\lambda : E(H) \rightarrow [h] such that eE(Gλ(e))e\in E(G_{\lambda(e)}) for each eE(H)e\in E(H). The conditions on the minimum degree δ(G)=mini[h]{δ(Gi)}\delta(\mathcal{G})=\min_{i\in[h]}\{ \delta(G_i)\} for finding a spanning G\mathcal{G}-transversal isomorphic to a graph HH have been actively studied when HH is a Hamilton cycle, an FF-factor, a spanning tree with maximum degree o(n/logn)o(n/\log n) and a power of a Hamilton cycle, etc. In this paper, we determined the asymptotically tight threshold on δ(G)\delta(\mathcal{G}) for finding a G\mathcal{G}-transversal isomorphic to HH when HH is a general nn-vertex graph with bounded maximum degree and o(n)o(n)-bandwidth. This provides a transversal generalization of the celebrated Bandwidth theorem by B\"ottcher, Schacht and Taraz.
