Limiting shape of the Depth First Search tree in an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph

Probability 2020-03-16 v1

Abstract

We show that the profile of the tree constructed by the Depth First Search Algorithm in the giant component of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph with NN vertices and connection probability c/Nc/N converges to an explicit deterministic shape. This makes it possible to exhibit a long non-intersecting path of length (ρcLi2(ρc)c)×N\left( \rho_c - \frac{\mathrm{Li}_2(\rho_c)}{c} \right) \times N, where ρc\rho_c is the density of the giant component.
