Union Of Balls

Let n points be placed independently in ν-dimensional space according to the standard ν-dimensional normal distribution. Let M n be the longest edge-length of the minimal spanning tree on these points; equivalently let M n be the infimum of those r such that the union of balls of radius r/2 centred at the points is connected. We show that the distribution of (2 log n)1/2 M n - b n converges weakly to the Gumbel (double exponential) distribution, where b n are explicit constants with b n ~ (ν - 1)log log n. We also show the same result holds if M n is the longest edge-length for the nearest neighbour graph on the points.
