A local central limit theorem for the number of triangles in a random graph

Combinatorics 2014-12-09 v2 Probability

Abstract

In this paper, we prove a local limit theorem for the distribution of the number of triangles in the Erdos-Renyi random graph G(n,p)G(n,p), where p(0,1)p \in (0,1) is a fixed constant. Our proof is based on bounding the characteristic function ψ(t)\psi(t) of the number of triangles, and uses several different conditioning arguments for handling different ranges of tt.
