Abstract
The randomly perturbed model was introduced by Bohman, Frieze and Martin in 2003, which interpolates the Dirac-type problems on minimum degree conditions and the same subgraph containment problem in random graphs $G(n,p)$. In this talk we will briefly survey known results and explain our recent work on embedding degenerate graphs in the randomly perturbed model. Indeed, the threshold of d-degenerate graph containment is known to be $n^{-1/d}$, and we show that the randomly perturbed threshold is $n^{-1/d-o(1)}$, that is, we obtain a saving polynomial in n.
