Abstract

Given a graph G on n vertices with average degreed, form a random subgraph Gp bychoosing each edge of G independently with probabilityp. Strengthening a classical result of Margulis we provethat, if the edge connectivity k(G) satisfiesk(G) d/log n, then theconnectivity threshold in Gp is sharp.This result is asymptotically tight.
