Robust Hamiltonicity in families of Dirac graphs
Abstract
A graph is called Dirac if its minimum degree is at least half of the number of vertices in it. Joos and Kim showed that every collection of Dirac graphs on the same vertex set of size contains a Hamilton cycle transversal, i.e., a Hamilton cycle on with a bijection such that for every . In this paper, we determine up to a multiplicative constant, the threshold for the existence of a Hamilton cycle transversal in a collection of random subgraphs of Dirac graphs in various settings. Our proofs rely on constructing a spread measure on the set of Hamilton cycle transversals of a family of Dirac graphs. As a corollary, we obtain that every collection of Dirac graphs on vertices contains at least different Hamilton cycle transversals for some absolute constant . This is optimal up to the constant . Finally, we show that if is sufficiently large, then every such collection spans pairwise edge-disjoint Hamilton cycle transversals, and this is best possible. These statements generalize classical counting results of Hamilton cycles in a single Dirac graph.
