Abstract

We describe an algorithm for finding Hamilton cycles in random graphs. Our model is the random graph G=\gcG=\gc. In this model GG is drawn uniformly from graphs with vertex set [n][n], mm edges and minimum degree at least three. We focus on the case where m=cnm=cn for constant cc. If cc is sufficiently large then our algorithm runs in O(n1+o(1))O(n^{1+o(1)}) time and succeeds w.h.p.
