Abstract

We consider the number Kn of clusters at a distance level dn ∈ (0, 1) of n independent random variables uniformly distributed in [0, 1], or the number Kn of connected components in the random interval graph generated by these variables and dn, and, depending upon how fast dn → 0 as n → ∞, determine the asymptotic distribution of Kn, with rates of convergence, and of related random variables that describe the cluster sizes. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
