The classical result of Erdős and Rényi asserts that the random graph G(n,p) experiences sharp phase transition around \documentclass{article}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{amsmath}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}\begin{align*}p=\frac{1}{n}\end{align*} \end{document} – for any ε > 0 and \documentclass{article}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{amsmath}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}\begin{align*}p=\frac{1-\epsilon}{n}\end{align*} \end{document}, all connected components of G(n,p) are…

A modification of the Depth first search algorithm, suited for finding long induced paths, is presented, and the induced size-Ramsey number of paths satisfies, giving an explicit constant in the linear bound.

### On Coloring Random Subgraphs of a Fixed Graph

It is shown that for any graph $G$ with chromatic number k = \chi(G) and independence number O(n/k) it holds that $\mathbb{E}[G_{1/2})] \geq \Omega \left( k/\log(k) \right)$, which gives a positive answer to the question of Bukh for a large family of graphs.

We say that a graph $G$ is Ramsey for $H_1$ versus $H_2$, and write $G \to (H_1,H_2)$, if every red-blue colouring of the edges of $G$ contains either a red copy of $H_1$ or a blue copy of $H_2$. In

### The Phase Transition in Site Percolation on Pseudo-Random Graphs

The existence of the phase transition in site percolation on pseudo-random $d$-regular graphs is established and typically $R$ contains a connected component of size at least $\frac{\epsilon n}{d}$ and a path of length proportional to the eigenvalue ratio.

It is shown that the existence of a j-tuple-connected component containing Θ(nj) j-sets undergoes a phase transition and the threshold occurs at edge probability, which controls the structure of the component grown in the search process.

It is shown that, when n is large and np is equal to a constant c greater than 1, it is very likely that all but one of the strong components are very small, and that the unique large strong component contains about Θ2n vertices, where Θ is the unique root in [0, 1] of the equation.
