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
On the Insertion Time of Cuckoo Hashing
Cuckoo hashing is an efficient technique for creating large hash tables with
high space utilization and guaranteed constant access times. There, each item
can be placed in a location given by any one out of k different hash functions.
In this paper we investigate further the random walk heuristic for inserting in
an online fashion new items into the hash table. Provided that k > 2 and that
the number of items in the table is below (but arbitrarily close) to the
theoretically achievable load threshold, we show a polylogarithmic bound for
the maximum insertion time that holds with high probability.Comment: 27 pages, final version accepted by the SIAM Journal on Computin
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'
