Colouring powers of cycles from random lists

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1 Probability

Abstract

Let CnkC_n^k be the kk-th power of a cycle on nn vertices (i.e. the vertices of CnkC_n^k are those of the nn-cycle, and two vertices are connected by an edge if their distance along the cycle is at most kk). For each vertex draw uniformly at random a subset of size cc from a base set SS of size s=s(n)s=s(n). In this paper we solve the problem of determining the asymptotic probability of the existence of a proper colouring from the lists for all fixed values of c,kc,k, and growing nn.
