Abstract

In the past two decades, various properties of randomly perturbed/augmented (hyper)graphs have been intensively studied, since the model was introduced by Bohman, Frieze and Martin in 2003. The model usually considers a deterministic graph GG with minimum degree condition, perturbed/augmented by a binomial random graph G(n,p)G(n,p) on the same vertex set. In this paper, we show that for many problems of finding spanning subgraphs, one can indeed relax the minimum degree condition to a density condition. This includes the embedding problem for FF-factors when FF is not a forest, graphs with bounded maximum degree, rr-th power of kk-uniform tight Hamilton cycles for r,k2r,k\ge 2, and kk-uniform Hamilton \ell-cycles for [2,k1]\ell\in[2,k-1]. These results strengthen the results of Balogh, Treglown, and Wagner, of B\"{o}ttcher, Montgomery, Parczyk, and Person, and of Chang, Han and Thoma.
