Forbidding induced even cycles in a graph: typical structure and counting

Combinatorics 2015-07-20 v1

Abstract

We determine, for all k6k\geq 6, the typical structure of graphs that do not contain an induced 2k2k-cycle. This verifies a conjecture of Balogh and Butterfield. Surprisingly, the typical structure of such graphs is richer than that encountered in related results. The approach we take also yields an approximate result on the typical structure of graphs without an induced 88-cycle or without an induced 1010-cycle.
