On Connectivity in a General Random Intersection Graph

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: There has been growing interest in studies of general random intersection graphs. In this paper, we consider a general random intersection graph mathbbG(n,overrightarrowa,overrightarrowKn,Pn) defined on a set mathcalVn comprising n vertices, where overrightarrowa is a probability vector (a1,a2,ldots,am) and overrightarrowKn is (K1,n,K2,n,ldots,Km,n). This graph has been studied in the literature including a most recent work by Yau{g}an [arXiv:1508.02407]. Suppose there is a pool mathcalPn consisting of Pn distinct objects. The n vertices in mathcalVn are divided into m groups mathcalA1,mathcalA2,ldots,mathcalAm. Each vertex v is independently assigned to exactly a group according to the probability distribution with mathbbP[vinmathcalAi]=ai, where i=1,2,ldots,m. Afterwards, each vertex in group mathcalAi independently chooses Ki,n objects uniformly at random from the object pool mathcalPn. Finally, an undirected edge is drawn between two vertices in mathcalVn that share at least one object. This graph model mathbbG(n,overrightarrowa,overrightarrowKn,Pn) has applications in secure sensor networks and social networks. We investigate connectivity in this general random intersection graph mathbbG(n,overrightarrowa,overrightarrowKn,Pn) and present a sharp zero-one law. Our result is also compared with the zero-one law established by Yau{g}an.
