We derive local limit theorems for the joint distribution of the number of vertices and the number of edges in the largest component of $H_d(n,p)$ and $H_d(n,m)$ for the regime ${{n-1}\\choose{d-1}} p,dm/n >(d-1)^{-1}+\\epsilon$. As an application, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the probability that $H_d(n,p)$ or $H_d(n,m)$ is connected. In addition, we infer a local limit theorem for the conditional distribution of the number of edges in $H_d(n,p)$ given connectivity. While most prior work on this subject relies on techniques from enumerative combinatorics, we present a new, purely probabilistic approach.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-06-26T18:10:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C80" ], "keywords": [ "connected hypergraphs", "derive local limit theorems", "largest component", "probability", "asymptotic formula" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0706.0497B" } } }
