Abstract

We study the intersection of a random geometric graph with an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph. Specifically, we generate the random geometric graph G(n,r)G(n, r) by choosing nn points uniformly at random from D=[0,1]2D=[0, 1]^2 and joining any two points whose Euclidean distance is at most rr. We let G(n,p)G(n, p) be the classical Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph, i.e. it has nn vertices and every pair of vertices is adjacent with probability pp independently. In this note we study G(n,r,p):=G(n,r)G(n,p)G(n, r, p):=G(n, r) \cap G(n, p). One way to think of this graph is that we take G(n,r)G(n, r) and then randomly delete edges with probability 1p1-p independently. We consider the clique number, independence number, connectivity, Hamiltonicity, chromatic number, and diameter of this graph where both p(n)0p(n)\to 0 and r(n)0r(n)\to 0; the same model was studied by Kahle, Tian and Wang (2023) for r(n)0r(n)\to 0 but pp fixed.
