On the probability that a random subgraph contains a circuit

Abstract

Let μ>2\mu > 2 and ϵ>0\epsilon > 0. We show that, if GG is a sufficiently large simple graph of average degree at least μ\mu, and HH is a random spanning subgraph of GG formed by including each edge independently with probability p1μ1+ϵp \ge \tfrac{1}{\mu-1} + \epsilon, then HH contains a cycle with probability at least 1ϵ1 - \epsilon.
