Connectivity of inhomogeneous random graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We find conditions for the connectivity of inhomogeneous random graphs with intermediate density. Our results generalize the classical result for G(n, p), when p = c log n/n. We draw n independent points X_i from a general distribution on a separable metric space, and let their indices form the vertex set of a graph. An edge (i,j) is added with probability min(1, K(X_i,X_j) log n/n), where K ge 0 is a fixed kernel. We show that, under reasonably weak assumptions, the connectivity threshold of the model can be determined.


This paper studies connectivity of inhomogeneous random graphs with intermediate density. Given a separable metric space \(S\) and a Borel probability measure \(\mu\), the random graph has vertex set \([n]\) and edge set \(\{(i,j)\}\) with each pair \((i,j)\) appearing with probability \(\min\{1,\kappa(X_i,X_j)\log n/n\}\). Here, the \(X_i\)s are independent \(\mu\)-distributed random variables on \(S\), and \(\kappa\in L^1(S\times S,\mu\otimes\mu)\) is a non-negative symmetric integrable kernel. The connectivity threshold of the model is presented under some conditions.
