We study the appearance of powers of Hamilton cycles in pseudorandom graphs, using the following comparatively weak pseudorandomness notion. A graph $G$ is $(varepsilon,p,k,ell)$-pseudorandom if for all disjoint $X$ and $Ysubset V(G)$ with $|X|gevarepsilon p^kn$ and $|Y|gevarepsilon p^ell n$ we have $e(X,Y)=(1pmvarepsilon)p|X||Y|$. We prove that for all $beta>0$ there is an $varepsilon>0$ such that an $(varepsilon,p,1,2)$-pseudorandom graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $beta pn$ contains the square of a Hamilton cycle. In particular, this implies that $(n,d,lambda)$-graphs with $lambdall d^{5/2 }n^{-3/2}$ contain the square of a Hamilton cycle, and thus a triangle factor if $n$ is a multiple of $3$. This improves on a result of Krivelevich, Sudakov and Szabo [Triangle factors in sparse pseudo-random graphs, Combinatorica 24 (2004), no. 3, 403--426]. We also extend our result to higher powers of Hamilton cycles and establish corresponding counti
Given an $n$ vertex graph whose edges have colored from one of $r$ colors $C={c_1,c_2,ldots,c_r}$, we define the Hamilton cycle color profile $hcp(G)$ to be the set of vectors $(m_1,m_2,ldots,m_r)in [0,n]^r$ such that there exists a Hamilton cycle that is the concatenation of $r$ paths $P_1,P_2,ldots,P_r$, where $P_i$ contains $m_i$ edges. We study $hcp(G_{n,p})$ when the edges are randomly colored. We discuss the profile close to the threshold for the existence of a Hamilton cycle and the threshold for when $hcp(G_{n,p})={(m_1,m_2,ldots,m_r)in [0,n]^r:m_1+m_2+cdots+m_r=n}$.
We prove that if $G$ is a $k$-partite graph on $n$ vertices in which all of the parts have order at most $n/r$ and every vertex is adjacent to at least a $1-1/r+o(1)$ proportion of the vertices in every other part, then $G$ contains the $(r-1)$-st power of a Hamiltonian cycle
We consider extremal problems for subgraphs of pseudorandom graphs. For graphs $F$ and $Gamma$ the generalized Turan density $pi_F(Gamma)$ denotes the density of a maximum subgraph of $Gamma$, which contains no copy of~$F$. Extending classical Turan type results for odd cycles, we show that $pi_{F}(Gamma)=1/2$ provided $F$ is an odd cycle and $Gamma$ is a sufficiently pseudorandom graph. In particular, for $(n,d,lambda)$-graphs $Gamma$, i.e., $n$-vertex, $d$-regular graphs with all non-trivial eigenvalues in the interval $[-lambda,lambda]$, our result holds for odd cycles of length $ell$, provided [ lambda^{ell-2}ll frac{d^{ell-1}}nlog(n)^{-(ell-2)(ell-3)},. ] Up to the polylog-factor this verifies a conjecture of Krivelevich, Lee, and Sudakov. For triangles the condition is best possible and was proven previously by Sudakov, Szabo, and Vu, who addressed the case when $F$ is a complete graph. A construction of Alon and Kahale (based on an earlier construction of Alon for triangle-free $(n,d,lambda)$-graphs) shows that our assumption on $Gamma$ is best possible up to the polylog-factor for every odd $ellgeq 5$.
We prove that the number of Hamilton cycles in the random graph G(n,p) is n!p^n(1+o(1))^n a.a.s., provided that pgeq (ln n+ln ln n+omega(1))/n. Furthermore, we prove the hitting-time version of this statement, showing that in the random graph process, the edge that creates a graph of minimum degree 2 creates (ln n/e)^n(1+o(1))^n Hamilton cycles a.a.s.
Given an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $d n$ for some fixed $d > 0$, the distribution $G cup mathbb{G}(n,p)$ over the supergraphs of $G$ is referred to as a (random) {sl perturbation} of $G$. We consider the distribution of edge-coloured graphs arising from assigning each edge of the random perturbation $G cup mathbb{G}(n,p)$ a colour, chosen independently and uniformly at random from a set of colours of size $r := r(n)$. We prove that such edge-coloured graph distributions a.a.s. admit rainbow Hamilton cycles whenever the edge-density of the random perturbation satisfies $p := p(n) geq C/n$, for some fixed $C > 0$, and $r = (1 + o(1))n$. The number of colours used is clearly asymptotically best possible. In particular, this improves upon a recent result of Anastos and Frieze (2019) in this regard. As an intermediate result, which may be of independent interest, we prove that randomly edge-coloured sparse pseudo-random graphs a.a.s. admit an almost spanning rainbow path.
