Abstract

Given DD and γ>0\gamma>0, whenever c>0c>0 is sufficiently small and nn sufficiently large, if G\mathcal{G} is a family of DD-degenerate graphs of individual orders at most nn, maximum degrees at most cnlogn\tfrac{cn}{\log n}, and total number of edges at most (1γ)(n2)(1-\gamma)\binom{n}{2}, then G\mathcal{G} packs into the complete graph KnK_{n}. Our proof proceeds by analysing a natural random greedy packing algorithm. This version of the manuscript corrects a small error that appeared in the published version [Adv Math, 354 (2019), 106739].
