Abstract

Let G1,,GmG_1,\dots, G_m be independent Bernoulli random subgraphs of the complete graph Kn{\cal K}_n having variable sizes x1,,xm[n]x_1,\dots, x_m\in [n] and densities q1,,qm[0,1]q_1,\dots, q_m\in [0,1]. Letting n,m+n,m\to+\infty, we study the connectivity threshold for the union i=1mGi\cup_{i=1}^mG_i defined on the vertex set of Kn{\cal K}_n. Assuming that the empirical distribution Pn,mP_{n,m} of the pairs (x1,q1),,(xm,qm)(x_1,q_1),\dots, (x_m,q_m) converges to a probability distribution PP we show that the threshold is defined by the mixed moments κn=x(1(1q)x1)Pn,m(dx,dq)\kappa_n=\iint x(1-(1-q)^{|x-1|})P_{n,m}(dx,dq). For lnnmnκn\ln n-\frac{m}{n}\kappa_n\to-\infty we have P{i=1mGiP\{\cup_{i=1}^mG_i is connected}1\}\to 1 and for lnnmnκn+\ln n-\frac{m}{n}\kappa_n\to+\infty we have P{i=1mGiP\{\cup_{i=1}^mG_i is connected}0\}\to 0. Interestingly, this dichotomy only holds if the mixed moment x(1(1q)x1)ln(1+x)P(dx,dq)<\iint x(1-(1-q)^{|x-1|})\ln(1+x)P(dx,dq)<\infty.
