In this talk we will first survey results which guarantee the existence of spanning subgraphs in dense graphs. This will lead us to the proof of the bandwidth-conjecture by Bollobas and Komlos, which states that any graph with minimum degree at least $ (1-1/r+\epsilon)n $ contains every r-chromatic graph with bounded maximum degree and sublinear bandwidth as a spanning subgraph. We will then move on to discuss the analogous question for a host graph that is obtained by starting from a sparse random graph G(n,p) and deleting a certain portion of the edges incident at every vertex. This is joint work with J. Boettcher, Y. Kohayakawa and M. Schacht.
