Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 2312-2334, September 2024. Abstract. The semi-random graph process is a single player game in which the player is initially presented an empty graph on [math] vertices. In each round, a vertex [math] is presented to the player independently and uniformly at random. The player then adaptively selects a vertex [math] and adds the edge [math] to the graph. For a fixed monotone graph property, the objective of the player is to force the graph to satisfy this property with high probability in as few rounds as possible. In this paper, we investigate the following three properties: containing a complete graph of order [math], having the chromatic number at least [math], and not having an independent set of size at least [math].
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
