Abstract

Consider the random hypercube H2n(pn)H_2^n(p_n) obtained from the hypercube H2nH_2^n by deleting any given edge with probabilty 1pn1-p_n, independently of all the other edges. A diameter path in H2nH_2^n is a longest geodesic path in H2nH_2^n. Consider the following two ways of tampering with the random graph H2n(pn)H_2^n(p_n): (i) choose a diameter path at random and adjoin all of its edges to H2n(pn)H_2^n(p_n); (ii) choose a diameter path at random from among those that start at 0=(0,...,0)0=(0,..., 0), and adjoin all of its edges to H2n(pn)H_2^n(p_n). We study the question of whether these tamperings are detectable asymptotically as nn\to\infty.
