Abstract

Let X1,X2,,XnX_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n be chosen independently and uniformly at random from the unit dd-dimensional cube [0,1]d[0,1]^d. Let rr be given and let X={X1,X2,,Xn}\cal X=\{X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n\}. The random geometric graph G=GX,rG=G_{\cal X,r} has vertex set X\cal X and an edge XiXjX_iX_j whenever XiXjr\|X_i-X_j\|\leq r. We show that if each edge of GG is colored independently from one of n+o(n)n+o(n) colors and rr has the smallest value such that GG has minimum degree at least two, then GG contains a rainbow Hamilton cycle a.a.s.
