“…Firstly, as random spatial models in the physics of complex systems, see for example the 1d soft random geometric graph [10] used in complex networks by Krioukov et al in network geometry [21]. Secondly, in Poisson-Boolean continuum percolation [13,[22][23][24], and thirdly, in vehicular communications [10,11,14,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. For 1d spatial models similar to the 1d RGG, see the 1d exponential random geometric graph [40], random interval graphs where the connection is between overlapping intervals of random length [28,41], or various models of one-dimensional mathematical physics [13,17,18].…”
