Random Subgraphs in Sparse Graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We investigate the threshold probability for connectivity of sparse graphs under weak assumptions. As a corollary this completely solve the problem for Cartesian powers of arbitrary graphs. In detail, let G be a connected graph on k vertices, Gn the n-th Cartesian power of G, alphai be the number of vertices of degree i of G, lambda be a positive real number, and Gpn be the graph obtained from Gn by deleting every edge independently with probability 1−p. If sumialphai(1−p)i=lambdafrac1n, then limnightarrowinftymathbbP[Gpnmisconnected]=exp(−lambda). This result extends known results for regular graphs. The main result implies that the threshold probability does not depend on the graph structure of G itself, but only on the degree sequence of the graph.
