We study the evolution of the order of the largest component in the random intersection graph model which reflects some clustering properties of real–world networks. We show that for appropriate choice of the parameters random intersection graphs differ from $G_{n,p}$ in that neither the so-called giant component, appearing when the expected vertex degree gets larger than one, has linear order nor is the second largest of logarithmic order. We also describe a test of our result on a protein similarity network.

In a random passive intersection graph model the edges of the graph are decided by taking the union of a fixed number of cliques of random size. We give conditions for a random passive intersection graph model to have a limiting vertex degree distribution, in particular to have a Poisson limiting vertex degree distribution. We give related conditions which, in addition to implying a limiting vertex degree distribution, imply convergence of expectation.

We study $G(n,m,F,H)$, a variant of the standard random intersection graph model in which random weights are assigned to both vertex types in the bipartite structure. Under certain assumptions on the distributions of these weights, the degree of a vertex is shown to depend on the weight of that particular vertex and on the distribution of the weights of the other vertex type.

We study isolated vertices and connectivity in the random intersection graph . A Poisson convergence for the number of isolated vertices is determined at the threshold for absence of isolated vertices, which is equivalent to the threshold for connectivity. When and , we give the asymptotic probability of connectivity at the threshold for connectivity. Analogous results are well known in Erdős-Rényi random graphs.

A random intersection graph is constructed by assigning independently to each vertex a subset of a given set and drawing an edge between two vertices if and only if their respective subsets intersect. In this article a model is developed in which each vertex is given a random weight and vertices with larger weights are more likely to be assigned large subsets. The distribution of the degree of a given vertex is characterized and is shown to depend on the weight of the vertex. In particular, if the weight distribution is a power law, the degree distribution will be as well. Furthermore, an asymptotic expression for the clustering in the graph is derived. By tuning the parameters of the model, it is possible to generate a graph with arbitrary clustering, expected degree, and—in the power-law case—tail exponent.

Social networks describe social interactions between people, which are often modeled by intersection graphs. In this paper, we propose an intersection graph model that is induced by adding a sparse random bipartite graph to a given bipartite graph. Under some mild conditions, we show that the vertex–isoperimetric number and the edge–isoperimetric number of the randomly perturbed intersection graph on n vertices are Ω ( 1 / ln n ) asymptomatically almost surely. Numerical simulations for small graphs extracted from two real-world social networks, namely, the board interlocking network and the scientific collaboration network, were performed. It was revealed that the effect of increasing isoperimetric numbers (i.e., expansion properties) on randomly perturbed intersection graphs is presumably independent of the order of the network.

We give a sufficient condition for the hamiltonicity of the uniform random intersection graph G{n,m,d}. It is a graph on n vertices, where each vertex is assigned d keys drawn independently at random from a given set of m keys, and where any two vertices establish an edge whenever they share at least one common key. We show that with probability tending to 1 the graph Gn,m,d has a Hamilton cycle provided that n = 2-1m(ln m + ln ln m + ω(m)) with some ω(m) → +∞ as m → ∞.

We study the component structure in random intersection graphs with tunable clustering, and show that the average degree works as a threshold for a phase transition for the size of the largest component. That is, if the expected degree is less than one, the size of the largest component is a.a.s. of logarithmic order, but if the average degree is greater than one, a.a.s. a single large component of linear order emerges, and the size of the second largest component is at most of logarithmic order.

An intersection graph defines an adjacency relation between subsets $S_1,\dots, S_n$ of a finite set $W=\{w_1,\dots, w_m\}$: the subsets $S_i$ and $S_j$ are adjacent if they intersect. Assuming that the subsets are drawn independently at random according to the probability distribution $\mathbb{P}(S_i=A)=P(|A|){\binom{m}{|A|}}^{-1}$, $A\subseteq W$, where $P$ is a probability on $\{0, 1, \dots, m\}$, we obtain the random intersection graph $G=G(n,m,P)$. We establish  the asymptotic order of the clique number $\omega(G)$ of  a sparse random intersection graph as $n,m\to+\infty$. For $m = \Theta(n)$ we show that the maximum clique is of size $(1-\alpha/2)^{-\alpha/2}n^{1-\alpha/2}(\ln n)^{-\alpha/2}(1+o_P(1))$ in the case where the asymptotic degree distribution of $G$ is a power-law with exponent $\alpha \in (1,2)$. It is of size $\frac {\ln n} {\ln \ln n}(1+o_P(1))$ if the degree distribution has bounded variance, i.e., $\alpha>2$. We construct a simple polynomial-time algorithm which finds a clique of the optimal order $\omega(G) (1-o_P(1))$.

Given integers $n$ and $m=\lfloor\beta n \rfloor$ and a probability measure $Q$ on $\{0, 1,\dots, m\}$, consider the random intersection graph on the vertex set $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$ where $i,j\in [n]$ are declared adjacent whenever $S(i)\cap S(j)\neq\emptyset$. Here $S(1),\dots, S(n)$ denote the iid random subsets of $[m]$ with the distribution $\bf{P}(S(i)=A)={{m}\choose{|A|}}^{-1}Q(|A|)$, $A\subset [m]$. For sparse random intersection graphs, we establish a first-order asymptotic as $n\to \infty$ for the order of the largest connected component $N_1=n(1-Q(0))\rho+o_P(n)$. Here $\rho$ is the average of nonextinction probabilities of a related multitype Poisson branching process.

A discussion of the most fundamental of network models, the configuration model, which is a random graph model of a network with a specified degree sequence. Following a definition of the model a number of basic properties are derived, including the probability of an edge, the expected number of multiedges, the excess degree distribution, the friendship paradox, and the clustering coefficient. This is followed by derivations of some more advanced properties including the condition for the existence of a giant component, the size of the giant component, the average size of a small component, and the expected diameter. Generating function methods for network models are also introduced and used to perform some more advanced calculations, such as the calculation of the distribution of the number of second neighbors of a node and the complete distribution of sizes of small components. The chapter ends with a brief discussion of extensions of the configuration model to directed networks, bipartite networks, networks with degree correlations, networks with high clustering, and networks with community structure, among other possibilities.
