Dirac's theorem for random regular graphs
We prove a `resilience' version of Dirac's theorem in the setting of random
regular graphs. More precisely, we show that, whenever is sufficiently
large compared to , a.a.s. the following holds: let be any
subgraph of the random -vertex -regular graph with minimum
degree at least . Then is Hamiltonian.
This proves a conjecture of Ben-Shimon, Krivelevich and Sudakov. Our result
is best possible: firstly, the condition that is large cannot be omitted,
and secondly, the minimum degree bound cannot be improved.Comment: Final accepted version, to appear in Combinatorics, Probability &

Graph Theory and Networks in Biology
In this paper, we present a survey of the use of graph theoretical techniques
in Biology. In particular, we discuss recent work on identifying and modelling
the structure of bio-molecular networks, as well as the application of
centrality measures to interaction networks and research on the hierarchical
structure of such networks and network motifs. Work on the link between
structural network properties and dynamics is also described, with emphasis on
synchronization and disease propagation.Comment: 52 pages, 5 figures, Survey Pape
