The semi-random graph process is a single player game in which the player is initially presented an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In each round, a vertex $u$ is presented to the player independently and uniformly at random. The player then…

A graph construction that produces a k-regular graph on n vertices for any choice of k >= 3 and n = m(k+1) for integer m >= 2 is described. The number of Hamiltonian cycles in such graphs can be explicitly determined as a function of n and…

The {\em bipartite-hole-number} of a graph $G$, denoted as $\widetilde\alpha(G)$, is the minimum number $k$ such that there exist integers $a$ and $b$ with $a + b = k+1$ such that for any two disjoint sets $A, B \subseteq V(G)$, there is an…

For which values of $k$ does a uniformly chosen $3$-regular graph $G$ on $n$ vertices typically contain $ n/k$ vertex-disjoint $k$-cycles (a $k$-cycle factor)? To date, this has been answered for $k=n$ and for $k \ll \log n$; the former,…

We study the problem of finding pairwise vertex-disjoint copies of the $\ell$-vertex cycle $C_\ell$ in the randomly perturbed graph model, which is the union of a deterministic $n$-vertex graph $G$ and the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$.…

It is known that if G is a connected simple graph, then G^3 is Hamiltonian (in fact, Hamilton-connected). A simple graph is k-ordered Hamiltonian if for any sequence v_1, v_2, ..., v_k of k vertices there is a Hamiltonian cycle containing…

We establish an inclusion relation between two uniform models of random $k$-graphs (for constant $k \ge 2$) on $n$ labeled vertices: $\mathbb G^{(k)}(n,m)$, the random $k$-graph with $m$ edges, and $\mathbb R^{(k)}(n,d)$, the random…

Finding a Hamiltonian cycle in a given graph is computationally challenging, and in general remains so even when one is further given one Hamiltonian cycle in the graph and asked to find another. In fact, no significantly faster algorithms…

For any $k\ge 3$ and $\ell \in [k-1]$ such that $(k,\ell) \ne (3,1)$, we show that any sufficiently large $k$-graph $G$ must contain a Hamilton $\ell$-cycle provided that it has no isolated vertices and every set of $k-1$ vertices contained…

Finding Hamitonian Cycles in square grid graphs is a well studied and important questions. More recent work has extended these results to triangular and hexagonal grids, as well as further restricted versions. In this paper, we examine a…

We show that with high probability we can build a Hamilton cycle after at most $1.85 n$ rounds in a particular semi-random model. In this model, in one round, we are given a {uniform random} $v\in[n]$ and then we can add an {arbitrary} edge…

We study the Tur\'an number of long cycles in random graphs and in pseudo-random graphs. Denote by $ex(G(n,p),H)$ the random variable counting the number of edges in a largest subgraph of $G(n,p)$ without a copy of $H$. We determine the…

Answering a question of Simonovits and S\' os, Conlon, Fox, and Sudakov proved that for any nonempty graph $H$, and any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists $\delta>0$ polynomial in $\varepsilon$, such that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with the…

One of the most famous results in the theory of random graphs establishes that the threshold for Hamiltonicity in the Erdos-Renyi random graph G_{n,p} is around p ~ (log n + log log n) / n. Much research has been done to extend this to…

A subset $C$ of edges in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is a \emph{loose Hamilton cycle} if $C$ covers all the vertices of $H$ and there exists a cyclic ordering of these vertices such that the edges in $C$ are segments of that order and such…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph, where $\delta(G) \geq \delta n$ for some $\delta := \delta(n)$. A result of Bohman, Frieze and Martin from 2003 asserts that if $\alpha(G) = O \left(\delta^2 n \right)$, then perturbing $G$ via the addition…

Let $H$ be an edge colored hypergraph. We say that $H$ contains a \emph{rainbow} copy of a hypergraph $S$ if it contains an isomorphic copy of $S$ with all edges of distinct colors. We consider the following setting. A randomly edge colored…

We consider the geometric random (GR) graph on the $d-$dimensional torus with the $L_\sigma$ distance measure ($1 \leq \sigma \leq \infty$). Our main result is an exact characterization of the probability that a particular labeled cycle…

We show that for any fixed $\alpha>0$, cherry-quasirandom 3-graphs of positive density and sufficiently large order $n$ with minimum vertex degree $\alpha \binom n2$ have a tight Hamilton cycle. This solves a conjecture of Aigner-Horev and…

In this paper we show that $e/n$ is the sharp threshold for the existence of tight Hamilton cycles in random $k$-uniform hypergraphs, for all $k\ge 4$. When $k=3$ we show that $1/n$ is an asymptotic threshold. We also determine thresholds…
