How many subsets of edges of a directed multigraph can be represented as trails?

Discrete Mathematics 2016-07-11 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

For each subset of edges of a (directed multi-) graph, one may determine whether the edges can be represented as a trail. I prove that the fraction trail-representable subsets of edges is at most O(logm/m)O(\sqrt{\log m}/\sqrt{m}), where mm is the number of edges, and show by example that the upper bound is nearly tight.
