Abstract

In this article, we consider `NN'spherical caps of area 4πp4\pi p were uniformly distributed over the surface of a unit sphere. We are giving the strong threshold function for the size of random caps to cover the surface of a unit sphere. We have shown that for large N,N, if NplogN>1/2\frac{Np}{\log\:N} > 1/2 the surface of sphere is completely covered by the NN caps almost surely, and if NplogN1/2\frac{Np}{\log\:N} \leq 1/2 a partition of the surface of sphere is remains uncovered by the NN caps almost surely.
