Brouwer's conjecture holds asymptotically almost surely

Combinatorics 2019-06-14 v1

Abstract

We show that for a sequence of random graphs Brouwer's conjecture holds true with probability tending to one as the number of vertices tends to infinity. Surprisingly, it was found that a similar statement holds true for weighted graphs with possible negative weights as well. For graphs with a fixed number of vertices, the result implies that there are constants C>0C>0 and n0n_{0} such that if nn0n\geq n_{0} then among all 2(n2)2^{{n \choose 2}} graphs with nn vertices, at least (1exp(Cn))2(n2)\left(1-\exp\left(-Cn\right)\right)2^{{n \choose 2}} graphs satisfy Brouwer's conjecture.
