Abstract

We prove that a given tree T on n vertices with bounded maximum degree is contained asymptotically almost surely in the binomial random graph G(n, (1+ε) log n/n) provided that T belongs to one of the following two classes: (1) T has linearly many leaves; (2) T has a path of linear length all of whose vertices have degree two in T.
