Local resilience and Hamiltonicity Maker-Breaker games in random-regular graphs
For an increasing monotone graph property \mP the \emph{local resilience}
of a graph with respect to \mP is the minimal for which there exists
of a subgraph with all degrees at most such that the removal
of the edges of from creates a graph that does not possesses \mP.
This notion, which was implicitly studied for some ad-hoc properties, was
recently treated in a more systematic way in a paper by Sudakov and Vu. Most
research conducted with respect to this distance notion focused on the Binomial
random graph model \GNP and some families of pseudo-random graphs with
respect to several graph properties such as containing a perfect matching and
being Hamiltonian, to name a few. In this paper we continue to explore the
local resilience notion, but turn our attention to random and pseudo-random
\emph{regular} graphs of constant degree. We investigate the local resilience
of the typical random -regular graph with respect to edge and vertex
connectivity, containing a perfect matching, and being Hamiltonian. In
particular we prove that for every positive and large enough values
of with high probability the local resilience of the random -regular
graph, \GND, with respect to being Hamiltonian is at least .
We also prove that for the Binomial random graph model \GNP, for every
positive and large enough values of , if
then with high probability the local resilience of \GNP with respect to being
Hamiltonian is at least . Finally, we apply similar
techniques to Positional Games and prove that if is large enough then with
high probability a typical random -regular graph is such that in the
unbiased Maker-Breaker game played on the edges of , Maker has a winning
strategy to create a Hamilton cycle.Comment: 34 pages. 1 figur
Local resilience of an almost spanning -cycle in random graphs
The famous P\'{o}sa-Seymour conjecture, confirmed in 1998 by Koml\'{o}s,
S\'{a}rk\"{o}zy, and Szemer\'{e}di, states that for any , every graph
on vertices with minimum degree contains the -th power of a
Hamilton cycle. We extend this result to a sparse random setting.
We show that for every there exists such that if then w.h.p. every subgraph of a random graph with
minimum degree at least , contains the -th power of a
cycle on at least vertices, improving upon the recent results of
Noever and Steger for , as well as Allen et al. for .
Our result is almost best possible in three ways: for the
random graph w.h.p. does not contain the -th power of any long
cycle; there exist subgraphs of with minimum degree and vertices not belonging to triangles; there exist
subgraphs of with minimum degree which do not
contain the -th power of a cycle on vertices.Comment: 24 pages; small updates to the paper after anonymous reviewers'

Local resilience for squares of almost spanning cycles in sparse random graphs
In 1962, P\'osa conjectured that a graph contains a square of a
Hamiltonian cycle if . Only more than thirty years later
Koml\'os, S\'ark\H{o}zy, and Szemer\'edi proved this conjecture using the
so-called Blow-Up Lemma. Here we extend their result to a random graph setting.
We show that for every and a.a.s. every
subgraph of with minimum degree at least contains
the square of a cycle on vertices. This is almost best possible in
three ways: (1) for the random graph will not contain any
square of a long cycle (2) one cannot hope for a resilience version for the
square of a spanning cycle (as deleting all edges in the neighborhood of single
vertex destroys this property) and (3) for a.a.s. contains a
subgraph with minimum degree at least which does not contain the square
of a path on vertices
Packing spanning graphs from separable families
Let be a separable family of graphs. Then for all positive
constants and and for every sufficiently large integer ,
every sequence of graphs of order and maximum
degree at most such that packs into . This improves results of
B\"ottcher, Hladk\'y, Piguet, and Taraz when is the class of trees
and of Messuti, R\"odl, and Schacht in the case of a general separable family.
The result also implies approximate versions of the Oberwolfach problem and of
the Tree Packing Conjecture of Gy\'arf\'as (1976) for the case that all trees
have maximum degree at most . The proof uses the local resilience of
random graphs and a special multi-stage packing procedure
Local resilience of spanning subgraphs in sparse random graphs
For each real γ>0γ>0 and integers Δ≥2Δ≥2 and k≥1k≥1, we prove that there exist constants β>0β>0 and C>0C>0 such that for all p≥C(logn/n)1/Δp≥C(logn/n)1/Δ the random graph G(n,p)G(n,p) asymptotically almost surely contains – even after an adversary deletes an arbitrary (1/k−γ1/k−γ)-fraction of the edges at every vertex – a copy of every n-vertex graph with maximum degree at most Δ, bandwidth at most βn and at least Cmax{p−2,p−1logn}Cmax{p−2,p−1logn} vertices not in triangles
Generating random graphs in biased Maker-Breaker games
We present a general approach connecting biased Maker-Breaker games and
problems about local resilience in random graphs. We utilize this approach to
prove new results and also to derive some known results about biased
Maker-Breaker games. In particular, we show that for
, Maker can build a pancyclic graph (that is, a graph
that contains cycles of every possible length) while playing a game on
. As another application, we show that for , playing a game on , Maker can build a graph which
contains copies of all spanning trees having maximum degree with
a bare path of linear length (a bare path in a tree is a path with all
interior vertices of degree exactly two in )
