It suffices to prove the assertion after replacing $\omega$ by $\min \{\omega ,\sqrt{\log n}\}$: that replacement gives a tighter interval. Thus assume $\omega \to \infty$ and $\omega =o(\log n)$, and putAt $p_{-}$, let $J$ count isolated vertices in $L$. The same indicator random variable calculation as for all isolated vertices givesBy the Chebyshev inequality, $J>0$ with high probability. Since $\ell \ge 2$ eventually, the marked vertices are then not all connected.

At $p_{+}$, the logarithmic-regime giant component result applies with $k=2$ and any fixed ${\gamma }_0\in (1/3,1/2)$. Its unique giant component misses $(1+o(1))n^{1/2}{e}^{-\omega /4}$ vertices. On the event that it misses at most twice that number, exchangeability makes the missed vertex set uniform conditional on its size. A union bound therefore givesThus all of $L$ is connected at $p_{+}$ with high probability.

For the uniform random graph process, assign uniform labels to the edges of the complete graph as independent random variables and reveal them in label order. The binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ is the prefix containing the $M(p)$ labels at most $p$, where $M(p)$ has a binomial distribution with parameters $N=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{2}\right)$ and $p$. Its variance at $p_{\pm }$ is $O(n\log n)$, whereas the gap between $\mathbb{E}M(p_{\pm })$ and the relevant endpoint $m_{\pm }$ is $(1+o(1))\omega n/8$. The Chebyshev inequality gives $M(p_{-})\ge m_{-}$ and $M(p_{+})\le m_{+}$ with high probability, with harmless integer rounding. The monotone graph property that all marked vertices are connected now impliesThe marked-set connectivity threshold is lower than the threshold for connecting every vertex, because only about $\sqrt{n}$ specified vertices need to avoid the small graph components.

For a monotone graph property $P=(P_n)$, a function $p^{\ast }(n)$ is a threshold function for a monotone graph property whenand

Membership is preserved under deleting vertices and edges. This is the decreasing meaning of monotonicity in extremal graph enumeration; it differs from an increasing monotone graph property used for random-graph thresholds. For a proper unbounded class, its least excluded chromatic number determines the leading quadratic logarithm of its labelled speed.

Start with the empty graph and reveal the edges of the complete graph in a uniformly random order. After $m$ steps its edge set is a uniform $m$-element subset. Independent uniform edge labels couple this process with all binomial random graphs: $G(n,p)=G_{n,M(p)}$, where $M(p)$ has a binomial distribution with parameters $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{n}{2}\right),p$. For a monotone graph property, concentration of $M(p)$ transfers a threshold estimate between edge probability and edge count.
