Sparse random graph vertex-minor universality conjecture
Sparse random graph vertex-minor universality conjecture
Let with , and let be sampled from either or . A graph is -vertex-minor universal if every graph on any specified set of vertices can be obtained as a vertex-minor. Sparse random graph universality conjecture. With high probability, is -vertex-minor universal for some . The conjecture extends the paper's random-graph universality methods beyond . The stated range is open because the required argument must address correlations in the random walk arising when previously unrevealed edges are flipped.
