Abstract

We establish the asymptotic behaviour of μ(G(n,p))\mu(G(n,p)), the number of unlabelled induced subgraphs in the binomial random graph G(n,p)G(n,p), for almost the entire range of the probability parameter p=p(n)[0,1]p=p(n)\in[0,1]. In particular, we show that typically the number of subgraphs becomes exponential when pp passes 1/n1/n, reaches maximum possible base of exponent (asymptotically) when p1/np\gg 1/n, and reaches the asymptotic value 2n2^n when pp passes 2lnn/n2\ln n/n. For plnn/np\gg \ln n/n, we get the first order term and asymptotics of the second order term of μ(G(n,p))\mu(G(n,p)). We also prove that random regular graphs Gn,dG_{n,d} typically have μ(Gn,d)2cdn\mu(G_{n,d})\geq 2^{c_d n} for all d3d\geq 3 and some positive constant cdc_d such that cd1c_d\to 1 as dd\to\infty.
