Tuza's Conjecture for random graphs

Combinatorics 2020-07-13 v2

Abstract

A celebrated conjecture of Zs. Tuza says that in any (finite) graph, the minimum size of a cover of triangles by edges is at most twice the maximum size of a set of edge-disjoint triangles. Resolving a recent question of Bennett, Dudek, and Zerbib, we show that this is true for random graphs; more precisely: \mbox{for any $p=p(n)$, $\mathbb P(\mbox{$G_{n,p}$ satisfies Tuza's Conjecture})\rightarrow 1 $ (as $n\rightarrow\infty$).}
