Edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles in random graphs

Abstract

We show that provided log50n/np1n1/4log9n\log^{50} n/n \leq p \leq 1 - n^{-1/4}\log^9 n we can with high probability find a collection of δ(G)/2\lfloor \delta(G)/2 \rfloor edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles in GGn,pG \sim G_{n, p}, plus an additional edge-disjoint matching of size n/2\lfloor n/2 \rfloor if δ(G)\delta(G) is odd. This confirms, for the above range of pp, a conjecture of Frieze and Krivelevich.
