Connectivity of the uniform random intersection graph

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A emph{uniform random intersection graph} G(n,m,k) is a random graph constructed as follows. Label each of n nodes by a randomly chosen set of k distinct colours taken from some finite set of possible colours of size m. Nodes are joined by an edge if and only if some colour appears in both their labels. These graphs arise in the study of the security of wireless sensor networks. Such graphs arise in particular when modelling the network graph of the well known key predistribution technique due to Eschenauer and Gligor. The paper determines the threshold for connectivity of the graph G(n,m,k) when noinfty with k a function of n such that kgeq2 and m=lfloornalphafloor for some fixed positive real number alpha. In this situation, G(n,m,k) is almost surely connected when [ liminf k^2n/mlog n>1, ] and G(n,m,k) is almost surely disconnected when [ limsup k^2n/mlog n<1. ]
