Covering random graphs with monochromatic trees

Abstract: Given an r-edge-coloured complete graph Kn, how many monochromatic connected components does one need in order to cover its vertex set? This natural question is a well-known essentially equivalent formulation of the classical Ryser's conjecture which, despite a lot of attention over the last 50 years, still remains open. A number of recent papers consider a sparse random analogue of this question, asking for the minimum number of monochromatic components needed to cover the vertex set of an r-edge-coloured ran… Show more

“…Conjecture 5.2. Λ(2, 3, 2, 3) = 3 8 . The heuristic justification for this conjecture is as follows: As mentioned in Remark 4.1, a more careful argument can seemingly improve the lower bound on Λ(2, 3, 2, 3) to at least z ≈ 0.318.…”

“…In the other direction, he gave a construction showing that this bound is tight when r − 1 is a prime power and n is a multiple of (r − 1) 2 . Since then, many further extensions have been considered, including ones in which K n is replaced with a graph of high minimum degree [12], a nearly-complete bipartite graph [6], or a sparse random graph [1,3]; the large monochromatic component can also be taken to have small diameter [18].…”
