Every edge in a graph $G$ is colored in some of $k\\ge 2$ colors. Two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $G$ are said to be CA-connected if $u$ and $v$ may be connected using any subset of $k-1$ colors. CA-connectivity defines an equivalence relation on the vertex set of $G$ whose classes are called CA-components. We study the component structure of a randomly colored Erd\\H{o}s-R\\'enyi random graph of constant average degree. We distinguish three regimes for the size of the largest component: a supercritical regime, a so-called intermediate regime, and a subcritical regime, in which the largest CA-component has respectively linear, logarithmic, and bounded size. Interestingly, in the subcritical regime, the bound is deterministic and given by the number of colors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-29T10:52:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "erdős-rényi random graph", "color-avoiding percolation", "subcritical regime", "constant average degree", "intermediate regime" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
