Square of a Hamilton cycle in a random graph

Combinatorics 2017-10-06 v3

Abstract

We show that the threshold for the random graph Gn,pG_{n,p} to contain the square of a Hamilton cycle is p=1np=\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}. This improves the previous results of K\"uhn and Osthus and also Nenadov and \v{S}kori\'c. In addition we consider how many random edges need to be added to a graph of order nn with minimum degree αn\alpha n in order that it contains the square of a Hamilton cycle w.h.p.
