Abstract

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.
