Saturation in random graphs

Abstract: A graph H is K s -saturated if it is a maximal K s -free graph, i.e., H contains no clique on s vertices, but the addition of any missing edge creates one. The minimum number of edges in a K s -saturated graph was determined over 50 years ago by Zykov and independently by Erdős, Hajnal and Moon. In this paper, we study the random analog of this problem: minimizing the number of edges in a maximal K s -free subgraph of the Erdős-Rényi random graph G(n, p). We give asymptotically tight estimates on this minimum,… Show more

“…One of the most important results on graph saturation is that for any graph F with at least one edge, there is a constant C F such that sat(n, F ) ≤ C F n. This was proved by Kászonyi and Tuza in 1986 [15], and shows that saturation numbers are linear in n. Since then, the study of saturation has become an established branch of extremal graph theory. Saturation numbers of hypergraphs and of random graphs have been studied as well [4,17,21,20]. The survey paper of Faudree, Faudree, and Schmitt [10] contains many results and references.…”

“…Angel and Kolesnik [3,24] investigated the special case r = 4, and obtained the sharp asymptotics p c (K 4 ) ∼ (3n log n) −1/2 . Other questions regarding graph bootstrap percolation and weak saturation were studied, e.g., in [11,18,25]. A random H-bootstrap percolation process in which the infection of a hyperedge missing from a copy of H occurs randomly, rather than deterministically, was studied in [33].…”

“…Very recently, Sullivan and Wenger [14] studied the analogous saturation numbers for tripartite graphs within tripartite graphs and determined sat(K n1,n2,n3 , K l,l,l ) for every fixed l ≥ 1 and every n 1 , n 2 and n 3 sufficiently large. Several other host graphs have been considered, including hypercubes [4,9,12] and random graphs [11].…”
