Abstract

Recently there has been much interest in studying random graph analogues of well-known classical results in extremal graph theory. Here we follow this trend and investigate the structure of triangle-free subgraphs of G(n, p) with high minimum degree. We prove that asymptotically almost surely each triangle-free spanning subgraph of G(n, p) with minimum degree at least (2/5 + o(1))pn is (p−1n)-close to bipartite, and each spanning triangle-free subgraph of G(n, p) with minimum degree at least (1/3 + ϵ)pn is O(p−1n)-close to r-partite for some r = r(ϵ). These are random graph analogues of a result by Andrásfai, Erdős and Sós (Discrete Math.8 (1974), 205–218), and a result by Thomassen (Combinatorica22 (2002), 591–596). We also show that our results are best possible up to a constant factor.
