Abstract

Let n be a positive integer, $\lambda>0$ a real number, and 1le ple infin. We study the unit disk random geometric graph Gp(lambda,n), defined to be the random graph on n vertices, independently distributed uniformly in the standard unit disk in ${\mathbb R}^2$, with two vertices adjacent if and only if their ellp-distance is at most lambda. Let $\lambda=c\sqrt{\ln n/n}$, and let ap be the ratio of the (Lebesgue) areas of the ellp- and ell2-unit disks. Almost always, Gp(lambda,n) has no isolated vertices and is also connected if c>ap–1/2, and has $n^{1-a_pc^2}(1+o(1))$ isolated vertices if c<ap–1/2. Furthermore, we find upper bounds (involving lambda but independent of p) for the diameter of Gp(lambda,n), building on a method originally due to M. Penrose.
