Threshold for Steiner triple systems
Ashwin Sah, Mehtaab Sawhney, Michael Simkin
We prove that with high probability contains a spanning Steiner triple system for , establishing the exponent for the thresho…
A lower bound for the -queens problem
Zur Luria, Michael Simkin
The -queens puzzle is to place mutually non-attacking queens on an chessboard. We present a simple two stage randomized algorithm to construct such configuratio…
A randomized construction of high girth regular graphs
Nati Linial, Michael Simkin
We describe a new random greedy algorithm for generating regular graphs of high girth: Let and be fixed. Let be even and set $g = c \log_…
Perfect Matchings in Random Subgraphs of Regular Bipartite Graphs
Roman Glebov, Zur Luria, Michael Simkin
Consider the random process in which the edges of a graph are added one by one in a random order. A classical result states that if is the complete graph or the co…
-Steiner Systems in Random Hypergraphs
Michael Simkin
Let be a random -uniform -vertex hypergraph where every -tuple belongs to independently with probability . We show that for some , if $p \geq…
