We let $HP^{(\\k)}_{n,m,k}$ be an edge colored version, where we color each edge randomly from one of $\\k$ colors. We show that if $\\k=n$ and $m=Kn\\log n$ where $K$ is sufficiently large then w.h.p. there is a rainbow colored perfect matching. I.e. a perfect matching in which every edge has a different color. We also show that if $n$ is even and $m=Kn\\log n$ where $K$ is sufficiently large then w.h.p. there is a rainbow colored Hamilton cycle in $G^{(n)}_{n,m}$. Here $G^{(n)}_{n,m}$ denotes a random edge coloring of $G_{n,m}$ with $n$ colors. When $n$ is odd, our proof requires $m=\\om(n\\log n)$ for there to be a rainbow Hamilton cycle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-01-28T01:55:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random graphs", "rainbow matchings", "rainbow hamilton cycle", "rainbow colored hamilton cycle", "sufficiently large" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1311.6423B" } } }
