Abstract

Given integers $n$, $m$ and a probability distribution $P_*$ on $[m]=\{1,\dots,m\}$, consider the random intersection graph on the vertex set $[n]$, where $i,j\in[n]$ are declared to be adjacent whenever $S(i)\cap S(j)\neq\emptyset$. Here $S(1),\dots,S(n)$ denote independent and identically distributed random subsets of $[m]$ with the distribution $\mathbf{P}(S(i)=A)={m\choose|A|}^{-1}P_*(|A|)$ for $A\subset[m]$. Assuming that $m$ is much larger than $n$, we show that the order of the largest connected component $N_1=n\rho+o_P(n)$ as $n,m\to\infty$. Here $\rho$ denotes the nonextinction probability of a related multitype Poisson branching process.
