Abstract

Let KK be a complete graph of order nn. For d(0,1)d\in (0,1), let cc be a ±1\pm 1-edge labeling of KK such that there are d(n2)d{n\choose 2} edges with label +1+1, and let GG be a spanning subgraph of KK of maximum degree at most Δ\Delta. We prove the existence of an isomorphic copy GG' of GG in KK such that the number of edges with label +1+1 in GG' is at least (cd,ΔO(1n))m(G)\left(c_{d,\Delta}-O\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)\right)m(G), where cd,Δ=d+Ω(1Δ)c_{d,\Delta}=d+\Omega\left(\frac{1}{\Delta}\right) for fixed dd, that is, this number visibly deviates from its expected value when considering a uniformly random copy of GG in KK. For d=12d=\frac{1}{2}, and Δ2\Delta\leq 2, we present more detailed results.
