Since the random graph ${\\mathcal G}_{n,1/2}$ is, in particular, 3-random-like, this can be viewed as a weak version of quasirandomness. We first show that 3-random-like graphs are 4-universal, that is, they contain induced copies of all 4-vertex graphs. This settles a question of Linial and Morgenstern. We then show that for larger subgraphs, 3-random-like sequences demonstrate a completely different behaviour. We prove that for every graph $H$ on $n\\geq R(10,10)$ vertices there exist 3-random-like graphs without an induced copy of $H$. Moreover, we prove that for every $\\ell$ there are 3-random-like graphs which are $\\ell$-universal but not $m$-universal when $m$ is sufficiently large compared to $\\ell$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-22T17:14:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "universality", "induced copy", "random graph", "anti-triangles converge", "weak version" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1401.5735H" } } }
