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…

In this paper we consider the existence of Hamilton cycles in the random graph $G=G_{n,m}^{\delta\geq 3}$. This a random graph chosen uniformly from the set of graphs with vertex set $[n]$, $m$ edges and minimum degree at least 3. Our…

In this paper we give new bounds on the bisection width of random 3-regular graphs on $n$ vertices. The main contribution is a new lower bound of $0.103295n$ based on a first moment method together with a structural analysis of the graph,…

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…

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 +…

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 show that w.h.p.\ the random $r$-uniform hypergraph $H_{n,m}$ contains a loose Hamilton cycle, provided $r\geq 3$ and $m\geq \frac{(1+\epsilon)n\log n}{r}$, where $\epsilon$ is an arbitrary positive constant. This is asymptotically best…

A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is \textit{pancyclic} if it contains cycles of length $t$ for all $3 \leq t \leq n$. In this paper we prove that for any fixed $\epsilon>0$, the random graph $G(n,p)$ with $p(n)\gg n^{-1/2}$ asymptotically almost…

The generalised random graph contains $n$ vertices with positive i.i.d. weights. The probability of adding an edge between two vertices is increasing in their weights. We require the weight distribution to have finite second moments and…

Let $L_{c,n}$ denote the size of the longest cycle in $G(n,{c}/{n})$, $c>1$ constant. We show that there exists a continuous function $f(c)$ such that $ L_{c,n}/n \to f(c)$ a.s. for $c\geq 20$, thus extending a result of the author and…

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…

Two sharp lower bounds for the length of a longest cycle $C$ of a graph $G$ are presented in terms of the lengths of a longest path and a longest cycle of $G-C$, denoted by $\overline{p}$ and $\overline{c}$, respectively, combined with…

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 $(1+\epsilon)ce^{-c}n$…

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 $c>1$.…

Let $G$ be any graph of minimum degree at least $k$, and let $G_p$ be the random subgraph of $G$ obtained by keeping each edge independently with probability $p$. Recently, Krivelevich, Lee and Sudakov showed that if $pk\to\infty$ then with…

Assume $G$ is a bridgeless graph. A cycle cover of $G$ is a collection of cycles of $G$ such that each edge of $G$ is contained in at least one of the cycles. The length of a cycle cover of $G$ is the sum of the lengths of the cycles in the…

A graph $G$ of order $n$ is called edge-pancyclic if, for every integer $k$ with $3 \leq k \leq n$, every edge of $G$ lies in a cycle of length $k$. Determining the minimum size $f(n)$ of a simple edge-pancyclic graph with $n$ vertices…

The mean weight of a cycle in an edge-weighted graph is the sum of the cycle's edge weights divided by the cycle's length. We study the minimum mean-weight cycle on the complete graph on n vertices, with random i.i.d. edge weights drawn…

The components of the graphs $D(n, q)$ provide the best-known general lower bound for the number of edges in a graph with $n$ vertices and no cycles of length less than $g$. In this paper, we give a new, short, and simpler proof of the fact…

The cycle set of a graph $G$ is the set consisting of all sizes of cycles in $G$. Answering a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Faudree, Verstra\"{e}te showed that there are at most $2^{n - n^{1/10}}$ different cycle sets of graphs with $n$…
