Abstract

We study the appearance of powers of Hamilton cycles in pseudorandom graphs, using the following comparatively weak pseudorandomness notion. A graph G is (epsilon, p, k, F)- pseudorandom if for all disjoint X, Y subset of (G) with |X|. Spkn and |Y| >= epsilon p(l)n we have e(X, Y) = (1 +/- epsilon) p| X||Y |. We prove that for all beta > 0 there is an epsilon > 0 such that an (epsilon, p, 1, 2)- pseudorandom graph on n vertices with minimum degree at least beta pn contains the square of a Hamilton cycle. In particular, this implies that (n, d, lambda)- graphs with lambda << d(5/2)n(-3/2) contain the square of a Hamilton cycle, and thus a triangle factor if n is a multiple of 3. This improves on a result of Krivelevich, Sudakov and Szabo [Triangle factors in sparse pseudo- random graphs, Combinatorica 24 (2004), no. 3, 403-426]. We also obtain results for higher powers of Hamilton cycles and establish corresponding counting versions. Our proofs are constructive, and yield deterministic polynomial time algorithms. (AU)
