The incidence matrix of a graph is totally unimodular if and only if the graph is bipartite, i.e., it contains no odd cycles. We extend the characterization of total unimodularity to hypergraphs whose hyperedges of size at least four are…

In this paper we study the randomly edge colored graph that is obtained by adding randomly colored random edges to an arbitrary randomly edge colored dense graph. In particular we ask how many colors and how many random edges are needed so…

Let $\{G_i\}$ be the random graph process: starting with an empty graph $G_0$ with $n$ vertices, in every step $i \geq 1$ the graph $G_i$ is formed by taking an edge chosen uniformly at random among the non-existing ones and adding it to…

This paper is a direct continuation of an earlier work, where we studied Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs perturbed by an interaction Hamiltonian favouring the formation of short cycles. Here, we generalize these results. We keep the same…

In this paper, we prove that for each $d \geq 2$, the union of a $d$-regular graph with a uniformly random $2$-factor on the same vertex set is Hamiltonian with high probability. This resolves a conjecture by Dragani\'c and Keevash for all…

We say that a $d$-regular graph is a $\gamma$-expander if for every not too large set of vertices $S$, there are at least $\gamma d |S|$ edges leaving $S$, and we say that a graph $G$ is $\gamma$-far from bipartite if at least $\gamma e(G)$…

We show that every sufficiently large regular tournament can almost completely be decomposed into edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. More precisely, for each \eta>0 every regular tournament G of sufficiently large order n contains at least…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

We establish the conditions under which several algorithmically exploitable structural features hold for random intersection graphs, a natural model for many real-world networks where edges correspond to shared attributes. Specifically, we…

Consider the random subgraph process on a base graph $G$ with $n$ vertices: we generate a sequence $\{G_t\}_{t=0}^{|E(G)|}$ by taking a uniformly random ordering of the edges of $G$ and then adding these edges one by one to the empty graph…

In this paper we consider the problem of finding ``as many edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles as possible'' in the binomial random digraph $D_{n,p}$. We show that a typical $D_{n,p}$ contains precisely the minimum between the minimum out- and…

We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a sub\-graph. This generalises a well-known result of…

For a graph $G$ the random $n$-lift of $G$ is obtained by replacing each of its vertices by a set of $n$ vertices, and joining a pair of sets by a random matching whenever the corresponding vertices of $G$ are adjacent. We show that…

A $c$-edge-colored multigraph has each edge colored with one of the $c$ available colors and no two parallel edges have the same color. A proper Hamiltonian cycle is a cycle containing all the vertices of the multigraph such that no two…

We provide an optimal sufficient condition, relating minimum degree and bandwidth, for a graph to contain a spanning subdivision of the complete bipartite graph $K_{2,\ell}$. This includes the containment of Hamilton paths and cycles, and…

For integers $k\geq 1$ and $n\geq 2k+1$, the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-element subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and whose edges connect pairs of subsets that are disjoint. The Kneser graphs of the form…

K\"uhn and Osthus conjectured in 2013 that regular tripartite tournaments are decomposable into Hamilton cycles. Somewhat surprisingly, Granet gave a simple counterexample to this conjecture almost 10 years later. In this paper, we show…
