Let ℋ︁ be a family of graphs. A graph T is ℋ︁‐universal if it contains a copy of each H ∈ℋ︁ as a subgraph. Let ℋ︁(k,n) denote the family of graphs on n vertices with maximum degree at most k. For all positive integers k and n, we construct an ℋ︁(k,n)‐universal graph T with $O_k(n^{2-{2 \over k}} \log ^{4 \over k} n)$ edges and exactly n vertices. The number of edges is almost as small as possible, as Ω(n2‐2/k) is a lower bound for the number of edges in any such graph. The construction of T is explicit, whereas the proof of universality is probabilistic and is based on a novel graph decomposition result and on the properties of random walks on expanders. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
