In 2004, Kim and Vu conjectured that, when $d=\omega(\log n)$, the random $d$-regular graph $G_d(n)$ can be sandwiched with high probability between two random binomial graphs $G(n,p)$ with edge probabilities asymptotically equal to…

Kim and Vu made the following conjecture (\textit{Advances in Mathematics}, 2004): if $d\gg \log n$, then the random $d$-regular graph $G(n,d)$ can be ``sandwiched'' between $G(n,p_*)$ and $G(n,p^*)$ where $p_*$ and $p^*$ are both…

Let $G(n,n,m)$ be a uniformly random $m$-edge subgraph of the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$ with bipartition $(V_1, V_2)$, where $n_i = |V_i|$. Given a real number $p \in [0,1]$ such that $d_1 := pn_2$ and $d_2 := pn_1$ are integers,…

We establish new couplings among several random graph and multigraph models related to the random regular graph $G(n,d)$, including the configuration model and unions of random perfect matchings. As a main result, we verify the…

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…

A $1$-factorization of a graph $G$ is a collection of edge-disjoint perfect matchings whose union is $E(G)$. A trivial necessary condition for $G$ to admit a $1$-factorization is that $|V(G)|$ is even and $G$ is regular; the converse is…

We prove that the number of perfect matchings in ${\mathcal G}(n,d)$ is asymptotically normal when $n$ is even, $d\to\infty$ as $n\to\infty$, and $d=O(n^{1/7}/\log^2 n)$. This is the first distributional result of spanning subgraphs of…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is called $d$-rigid if, for a generic embedding of its vertices in $\mathbb{R}^d$, every edge-length preserving continuous motion of the vertices preserves the distances between all pairs of non-adjacent vertices as well.…

We prove that any \(2\)-connected graph \(G\) on \(n\) vertices with minimum degree \(\delta(G) \ge \frac{n}{4}+2\) contains a \(2\)-connected subgraph of order \(k\) for every integer \(k\) with \(4 \le k \le n\). This improves a previous…

We present a new approach to showing that random graphs are nearly optimal expanders. This approach is based on recent deep results in combinatorial group theory. It applies to both regular and irregular random graphs. Let G be a random…

Given a graph $G$ and $p\in [0,1]$, the random subgraph $G_p$ is obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that the following holds.…

In this paper we consider the problem of embedding almost-spanning, bounded degree graphs in a random graph. In particular, let $\Delta\geq 5$, $\varepsilon > 0$ and let $H$ be a graph on $(1-\varepsilon)n$ vertices and with maximum degree…

Let $d,n\in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $d=\omega(1)$, and $d\le n^{1-a}$ for some constant $a>0$. Consider a $d$-regular graph $G=(V, E)$ and the random graph process that starts with the empty graph $G(0)$ and at each step $G(i)$ is obtained…

Given a class $\mathcal G$ of graphs, let ${\mathcal G}_n$ denote the set of graphs in $\mathcal G$ on vertex set $[n]$. For certain classes $\mathcal G$, we are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of a random graph $R_n$ sampled…

In 1972, Kotzig proved that for every even $n$, the complete graph $K_n$ can be decomposed into $\lceil\log_2n\rceil$ edge-disjoint regular bipartite spanning subgraphs, which is best possible. In this paper, we study regular bipartite…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices and let $\mu_0$ be a probability measure on $V$. The act of moving to a randomly chosen neighbor leads to a sequence of probability measures supported on $V$ given by $\mu_{k+1} = A…

We consider two variants of the induced subgraph isomorphism problem for two independent binomial random graphs with constant edge-probabilities p_1,p_2. In particular, (i) we prove a sharp threshold result for the appearance of G_{n,p_1}…

Given an $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $W\in [0,1]^{[n]\times [n]}$, let $\mathcal{G}(n,W)$ be the random graph obtained by independently including each edge $jk$ with probability $W_{jk}$. Given a degree sequence ${\bf d}=(d_1,\ldots,…

In this work we establish several monotonicity and decomposition results in the framework of random regular graphs. Among other results, we show that, for a wide range of parameters $d_1 \leq d_2$, there exists a coupling of $G(n,d_1)$ and…

For a property $\mathcal{P}$ of graphs, the $\mathcal{P}$-\textsc{Sandwich-Problem}, introduced by Golumbic and Shamir (1993), is the following: Given a pair of graphs $(G_1, G_2)$ on the same vertex set $V$, does there exist a graph $G$…
