Given a set $R$, a hypergraph is $R$-uniform if the size of every hyperedge belongs to $R$. A hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ is called \textit{covering} if every vertex pair is contained in some hyperedge in $\mathcal{H}$. In this note, we show…

Counting the number of Hamiltonian cycles that are contained in a geometric graph is {\bf \#P}-complete even if the graph is known to be planar \cite{lot:refer}. A relaxation for problems in plane geometric graphs is to allow the geometric…

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…

A packing of two $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ is a set $\{H_1', H_2'\}$ of edge-disjoint sub-hypergraphs of the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph $K_n^{(k)}$ such that $H_1'\cong H_1$ and $H_2'\cong H_2$. Whilst the problem of…

For a given graph $G$ of minimum degree at least $k$, let $G_p$ denote the random spanning subgraph of $G$ obtained by retaining each edge independently with probability $p=p(k)$. We prove that if $p \ge \frac{\log k + \log \log k +…

Consider the random subgraph process on a base graph $G$ on $n$ vertices: a sequence $\lbrace G_t \rbrace _{t=0} ^{|E(G)|}$ of random subgraphs of $G$ obtained by choosing an ordering of the edges of $G$ uniformly at random, and by…

We prove that the number of Hamilton cycles in the random graph G(n,p) is n!p^n(1+o(1))^n a.a.s., provided that p\geq (ln n+ln ln n+\omega(1))/n. Furthermore, we prove the hitting-time version of this statement, showing that in the random…

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…

Let $k,r \geq 2$ be two integers. We consider the problem of partitioning the hyperedge set of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ into the minimum number $\chi_k'(H)$ of edge-disjoint subhypergraphs in which every vertex has either degree $0$ or…

Given $k\ge3$ and $1\leq \ell< k$, an $(\ell,k)$-cycle is one in which consecutive edges, each of size $k$, overlap in exactly $\ell$ vertices. We study the smallest number of edges in $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraphs which do not contain…

We propose the following conjecture extending Dirac's theorem: if $G$ is a graph with $n\ge 3$ vertices and minimum degree $\delta(G)\ge n/2$, then in every orientation of $G$ there is a Hamilton cycle with at least $\delta(G)$ edges…

We study Hamilton cycles and perfect matchings in a uniform attachment graph. In this random graph, vertices are added sequentially, and when a vertex $t$ is created, it makes $k$ independent and uniform choices from $\{1,\dots,t-1\}$ and…

We show that provided $\log^{50} n/n \leq p \leq 1 - n^{-1/4}\log^9 n$ we can with high probability find a collection of $\lfloor \delta(G)/2 \rfloor$ edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles in $G \sim G_{n, p}$, plus an additional edge-disjoint…

Given a family of graphs $G_1,\dots,G_{n}$ on the same vertex set $[n]$, a rainbow Hamilton cycle is a Hamilton cycle on $[n]$ such that each $G_c$ contributes exactly one edge. We prove that if $G_1,\dots,G_{n}$ are independent samples of…

It is known for some time that a random graph $G(n,p)$ contains w.h.p. a Hamiltonian cycle if $p$ is larger than the critical value $p_{crit}= (\log n + \log \log n + \omega_n)/n$. The determination of a concrete Hamiltonian cycle is even…

Let $\epsilon>0$. We consider the problem of constructing a Hamiltonian graph with $(1+\epsilon)n$ edges in the following controlled random graph process. Starting with the empty graph on $[n]$, at each round a set of $K=K(n)$ edges is…

${ NP}$-complete problem "Hamiltonian cycle"\ for graph $G=(V,E)$ is extended to the "Hamiltonian Complement of the Graph"\ problem of finding the minimal cardinality set $H$ containing additional edges so that graph $G=(V,E\cup H)$ is…

We study the 2-offer semirandom 3-uniform hypergraph model on $n$ vertices. At each step, we are presented with 2 uniformly random vertices. We choose any other vertex, thus creating a hyperedge of size 3. We show a strategy that constructs…

In this paper, we consider the Cycle Packing problem on unit disk graphs defined as follows. Given a unit disk graph G with n vertices and an integer k, the goal is to find a set of $k$ vertex-disjoint cycles of G if it exists. Our…

We introduce and study the complexity of Path Packing. Given a graph $G$ and a list of paths, the task is to embed the paths edge-disjoint in $G$. This generalizes the well known Hamiltonian-Path problem. Since Hamiltonian Path is…
