Rainbow connectivity of multilayered random geometric graphs

Abstract

An edge-colored multigraph GG is rainbow connected if every pair of vertices is joined by at least one rainbow path, i.e., a path where no two edges are of the same color. In the context of multilayered networks we introduce the notion of multilayered random geometric graphs, from h2h\ge 2 independent random geometric graphs G(n,r)G(n,r) on the unit square. We define an edge-coloring by coloring the edges according to the copy of G(n,r)G(n,r) they belong to and study the rainbow connectivity of the resulting edge-colored multigraph. We show that r(n)=(lognn)h12hr(n)=\left(\frac{\log n}{n}\right)^{\frac{h-1}{2h}} is a threshold of the radius for the property of being rainbow connected. This complements the known analogous results for the multilayerd graphs defined on the Erd\H{o}s-R\' enyi random model.
