Abstract

We investigate the appearance of the square of a Hamilton cycle in the model of randomly perturbed graphs, which is, for a given α ∈ (0, 1), the union of any n-vertex graph with minimum degree αn and the binomial random graph G(n, p). This is known when α > 1∕2 and we determine the exact perturbed threshold probability in all the remaining cases, that is, for each α ≤ 1∕2. We demonstrate that, as α ranges over the interval (0, 1), the threshold performs a countably infinite number of ‘jumps’. Our result has implications on the perturbed threshold for two-universality, where we also fully address all open cases.
