We discuss the length of the longest cycle in a sparse random graph $G_{n,p},p=c/n$. $c$ constant. We show that for large $c$ there is a function $f(c)$ such that $L_n(c)/n\to f(c)$ a.s. The function $f(c)=1-\sum_{k=1}^\infty p_k(c)e^{-kc}$…

We discuss the length $\vec{L}_{c,n}$ of the longest directed cycle in the sparse random digraph $D_{n,p},p=c/n$, $c$ constant. We show that for large $c$ there exists a function $\vec{f}(c)$ such that $\vec{L}_{c,n}/n\to \vec{f}(c)$ a.s.…

We study the set ${\cal L}(G)$ of lengths of all cycles that appear in a random $d$-regular $G$ on $n$ vertices for a fixed $d\geq 3$, as well as in Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graphs on $n$ vertices with a fixed average degree $c>1$.…

Long paths and cycles in sparse random graphs and digraphs were studied intensively in the 1980's. It was finally shown by Frieze in 1986 that the random graph $\cG(n,p)$ with $p=c/n$ has a cycle on at all but at most $(1+\epsilon)ce^{-c}n$…

For a graph $G$ and $p\in [0,1]$, let $G_p$ arise from $G$ by deleting every edge mutually independently with probability $1-p$. The random graph model $(K_n)_p$ is certainly the most investigated random graph model and also known as the…

Let $L$ be subset of $\{3,4,\dots\}$ and let $X_{n,M}^{(L)}$ be the number of cycles belonging to unicyclic components whose length is in $L$ in the random graph $G(n,M)$. We find the limiting distribution of $X_{n,M}^{(L)}$ in the…

We improve Luczak's upper bounds on the length of the longest cycle in the random graph G(n,M) in the "supercritical phase" where M=n/2+s and s=o(n) but n^{2/3}=o(s). The new upper bound is (6.958+o(1))s^2/n with probability 1-o(1) as n…

We provide a new lower bound on the length of the longest cycle of the binomial random graph $G(n,(1+\epsilon)/n)$ that holds w.h.p. for all $\epsilon=\epsilon(n)$ such that $\epsilon^3n\to \infty$. In the case $\epsilon\leq \epsilon_0$ for…

Let $G_n$ be the binomial random graph $G(n,p=c/n)$ in the sparse regime, which as is well-known undergoes a phase transition at $c=1$. Lynch (Random Structures Algorithms, 1992) showed that for every first order sentence $\phi$, the…

We study the resilience of random and pseudorandom directed graphs with respect to the property of having long directed cycles. For every $0 < \gamma < 1/2$ we find a constant $c=c(\gamma)$ such that the following holds. Let $G=(V,E)$ be a…

There has been much interest in the distribution of the circumference, the length of the longest cycle, of a random graph $G(n,p)$ in the sparse regime, when $p = \Theta\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)$. Recently, the first author and Frieze…

Let $L$ be a set of positive integers. We call a (directed) graph $G$ an $L$\emph{-cycle graph} if all cycle lengths in $G$ belong to $L$. Let $c(L,n)$ be the maximum number of cycles possible in an $n$-vertex $L$-cycle graph (we use…

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$, $F_k$ be a fan consisting of $k$ triangles sharing a common vertex, and $tF_k$ be $t$ vertex-disjoint copies of $F_k$. Brennan (2017) showed the Ramsey number $r(G,F_k)=2n-1$ for $G$ being a…

Given a graph $G$ and probability $p$, we form the random subgraph $G_p$ by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. Given $d\in\mathbb{N}$ and constants $0<c<1, \varepsilon>0$, we show that if every subset $S\subseteq…

Let $k \geq 2$ be an integer. Kouider and Lonc proved that the vertex set of every graph $G$ with $n \geq n_0(k)$ vertices and minimum degree at least $n/k$ can be covered by $k - 1$ cycles. Our main result states that for every $\alpha >…
