We show that two such permutations are $O(n^{1/3}log^{11/6}(n))$-similar with high probability, which is tight up to a polylogarithmic factor. Our result also generalises to simultaneous decompositions of multiple permutations.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J. Discret.

We solve the problem completely for infinitely many values of $n$ when the prescribed condition is connectivity or $2$-connectivity, Hamiltonicity or the containment of a spanning star. We also investigate local conditions that can be certified by looking at only a subset of the vertex set. In these cases a capacity-type asymptotic invariant is defined and when the condition is to contain a certain subgraph this invariant is shown to be a simple function of the chromatic number of this required subgraph. This is proven using classical results from extremal graph theory.

For $n geq 1$, let $mathbb{I}_n$ denotes the $n$-dimensional hypercube graph. In this paper, we show that $mathcal{VR}(mathbb{I}_n;r)$ has non trivial reduced homology only in dimensions $4$ and $7$. Therefore, we answer a question posed by Adamaszek and Adams recently. A (finite) simplicial complex $Delta$ is $d$-collapsible if it can be reduced to the void complex by repeatedly removing a face of size at most $d$ that is contained in a unique maximal face of $Delta$. The collapsibility number of $Delta$ is the minimum integer $d$ such that $Delta$ is $d$-collapsible. We show that the collapsibility number of $mathcal{VR}(mathbb{I}_n;r)$ is $2^r$ for $r in {2, 3}$.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J. Discret.

Wei, Haidong Wu","doi":"10.1137/22m1481105","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1137/22m1481105","url":null,"abstract":"A well-known question of Gallai (1966) asked whether there is a vertex which passes through all longest paths of a connected graph. Although this has been verified for some special classes of graphs such as outerplanar graphs, circular arc graphs, and series-parallel graphs, the answer is negative for general graphs. In this paper, we prove among other results that if we replace the vertex by a bond, then the answer is affirmative. A bond of a graph is a minimal nonempty edge-cut. In particular, in any 2-connected graph, the set of all edges incident to a vertex is a bond, called a vertex-bond. Clearly, for a 2-connected graph, a path passes through a vertex $v$ if and only if it meets the vertex-bond with respect to $v$. Therefore, a very natural approach to Gallai's question is to study whether there is a bond meeting all longest paths. Let $p$ denote the length of a longest path of connected graphs. We show that for any 2-connected graph, there is a bond meeting all paths of length at least $p-1$. We then prove that for any 3-connected graph, there is a bond meeting all paths of length at least $p-2$. For a $k$-connected graph $(kge3)$, we show that there is a bond meeting all paths of length at least $p-t+1$, where $t=Biglfloorsqrt{frac{k-2}{2}}Bigrfloor$ if $p$ is even and $t=Biglceilsqrt{frac{k-2}{2}}Bigrceil$ if $p$ is odd.

Two well-known applications of the lemma are as follows. The first is a theorem of F\"uredi and of Alon, Krivelevich, and Sudakov showing that the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph not containing a fixed bipartite graph with maximum degree at most $r$ on one side is $O(n^{2-1/r})$. This was recently extended by Grzesik, Janzer and Nagy to the family of so-called $(r,t)$-blowups of a tree. A second application is a theorem of Conlon, Fox, and Sudakov, confirming a special case of a conjecture of ErdH{o}s and Simonovits and of Sidorenko, showing that if $H$ is a bipartite graph that contains a vertex complete to the other part and $G$ is a graph then the probability that the uniform random mapping from $V(H)$ to $V(G)$ is a homomorphismis at least $left[frac{2|E(G)|}{|V(G)|^2}right]^{|E(H)|}$. In this note, we introduce a nested variant of the dependent random choice lemma, which might be of independent interest. We then apply it to obtain a common extension of the theorem of Conlon, Fox, and Sudakov and the theorem of Grzesik, Janzer, and Nagy, regarding Tur'an and Sidorenko properties of so-called tree-degenerate graphs.","PeriodicalId":21749,"journal":{"name":"SIAM J.
