Abstract

For given integers rr and \ell such that 2r12\leqslant\ell\leqslant r-1, an rr-uniform hypergraph HH is called a partial Steiner (n,r,)(n,r,\ell)-system, if every subset of size \ell lies in at most one edge of HH. In particular, partial Steiner (n,r,2)(n,r,2)-systems are also called linear hypergraphs. The partial Steiner (n,r,)(n,r,\ell)-system process starts with an empty hypergraph on vertex set [n][n] at time 00, the (nr) \binom{n}{r} edges arrive one by one according to a uniformly chosen permutation, and each edge is added if and only if it does not overlap any of the previously-added edges in \ell or more vertices. In this paper, we show with high probability, independent of \ell, the sharp threshold of connectivity in the algorithm is nrlogn \frac{n}{r}\log n and the very edge which links the last isolated vertex with another vertex makes the partial Steiner (n,r,)(n,r,\ell)-system connected.
