Edge-decompositions of graphs with high minimum degree

Ben Barber, Daniela Kühn, Allan Lo and Deryk Osthus, Advances in Mathematics, Volume 288, 22 January 2016, Pages 337–385 PDF When can the edge set of a graph be partitioned into triangles? Two obvious necessary conditions are that the total number of edges is divisible by 3 and the degree of every vertex is even. We …

Random walks on quasirandom graphs

Ben Barber and Eoin Long, The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 20(4) (2013), #P25 PDF Take a long (proportional to ) random walk in a quasirandom graph . Must the subgraph of edges traversed by be quasirandom? We’d like to say yes, for the following reason: visits every vertex about the same number of times, so we …
