Abstract

AbstractWe present a refinement of the classical alteration method for constructing ‐free graphs for suitable edge‐probabilities , we show that removing all edges in ‐copies of the binomial random graph does not significantly change the independence number. This differs from earlier alteration approaches of Erdős and Krivelevich, who obtained similar guarantees by removing one edge from each ‐copy (instead of all of them). We demonstrate the usefulness of our refined alternation method via two applications to online graph Ramsey games, where it enables easier analysis.
