Connectivity of the k-Out Hypercube

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we study the connectivity properties of the random subgraph of the n-cube generated by the k-out model and denoted by Qn(k). Let k be an integer, 1leqkleqn−1. We let Qn(k) be the graph that is generated by independently including for every vinV(Qn) a set of k distinct edges chosen uniformly from all the sets of distinct edges that are incident to v. We study connectivity the properties of Qn(k) as k varies. We show that w.h.p. Qn(1) does not contain a giant component i.e. a component that spans Omega(2n) vertices. Thereafter we show that such a component emerges when k=2. In addition the giant component spans all but o(2n) vertices and hence it is unique. We then establish the connectivity threshold found at k0=log2n−2log2log2n. The threshold is sharp in the sense that Qn(lfloork0floor) is disconnected but Qn(lceilk0ceil+1) is connected w.h.p. Furthermore we show that w.h.p. Qn(k) is k-connected for every kgeqlceilk0ceil+1.
