In contrast to previous criteria, ours is based on only two properties: one requiring expansion of ``small'' sets, the other ensuring the existence of an edge between any two disjoint ``large'' sets. We also discuss applications in positional games, random graphs and extremal graph theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2006-12-24T13:19:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C45", "05C38", "05C80" ], "keywords": [ "hamilton cycle", "expanding graphs", "extremal graph theory", "wide variety" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....12751H" } } }
