Abstract

Given a kk-vertex graph HH and an integer nn, what are the nn-vertex graphs with the maximum number of induced copies of HH? This question is closely related to the inducibility problem introduced by Pippenger and Golumbic in 1975, which asks for the maximum possible fraction of kk-vertex subsets of an nn-vertex graph that induce a copy of HH. Huang, Lee and the first author proved that for a random kk-vertex graph HH, almost surely the nn-vertex graphs maximizing the number of induced copies of HH are the balanced iterated blow-ups of HH. In this paper, we consider the case where the graph HH is obtained by deleting a small number of vertices from a random Cayley graph H~\widetilde{H} of an abelian group. We prove that in this case, almost surely all nn-vertex graphs maximizing the number of induced copies of HH are balanced iterated blow-ups of H~\widetilde{H}.
