Abstract

For a graph G with m edges let its Range of Subgraph Sizes (RSS)

ρ(G) = {t : G contains a vertex-induced subgraph with t edges}.

G has a full RSS if ρ(G) = {0, 1, …, m}. We establish the threshold for a random graph to have a full RSS and give tight bounds on the likely RSS of a dense random graph.
