Abstract

Let W 1,…,W n be independent random subsets of [m]={1,…,m}. Assuming that each W i is uniformly distributed in the class of d-subsets of [m] we study the uniform random intersection graph G s (n,m,d) on the vertex set {W 1,…W n }, defined by the adjacency relation: W i W j whenever |W i W j |≧s. For even n we show that as n,m→∞ the edge density threshold for the property that G s (n,m,d) contains a perfect matching is asymptotically the same as that for G s (n,m,d) being connected.
