Description:
On independent random points U1,⋯ ,Undistributed uniformly on [0,1]d, a random graph Gn(x) is constructed in which two distinct such points are joined by an edge if the l∞-distance between them is at most some prescribed value 0≤ x≤ 1. Almost-sure asymptotic rates of convergence/divergence are obtained for the maximum vertex degree of the random graph and related quantities, including the clique number, chromatic number and independence number, as the number n of points becomes large and the edge distance x is allowed to vary with n. Series and sequence criteria on edge distances {xn} are provided which guarantee the random graph to be empty of edges, a.s.
