Koml\'os's tiling theorem via graphon covers

Combinatorics 2018-11-26 v3

Abstract

Komlos [Komlos: Tiling Turan Theorems, Combinatorica, 2000] determined the asymptotically optimal minimum-degree condition for covering a given proportion of vertices of a host graph by vertex-disjoint copies of a fixed graph H, thus essentially extending the Hajnal-Szemeredi theorem which deals with the case when H is a clique. We give a proof of a graphon version of Komlos's theorem. To prove this graphon version, and also to deduce from it the original statement about finite graphs, we use the machinery introduced in [Hladky, Hu, Piguet: Tilings in graphons, arXiv:1606.03113]. We further prove a stability version of Komlos's theorem.
