Abstract

Random ss-intersection graphs have recently received considerable attention in a wide range of application areas. In such a graph, each vertex is equipped with a set of items in some random manner, and any two vertices establish an undirected edge in between if and only if they have at least ss common items. In particular, in a uniform random ss-intersection graph, each vertex independently selects a fixed number of items uniformly at random from a common item pool, while in a binomial random ss-intersection graph, each item in some item pool is independently attached to each vertex with the same probability. For binomial/uniform random ss-intersection graphs, we establish threshold functions for perfect matching containment, Hamilton cycle containment, and kk-robustness, where kk-robustness is in the sense of Zhang and Sundaram [IEEE Conf. on Decision & Control '12]. We show that these threshold functions resemble those of classical Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs, where each pair of vertices has an undirected edge independently with the same probability.
