Abstract
We prove that, for every set of points in , a random plane graph drawn on is expected to contain less than isolated vertices. In the other direction, we construct a point set where the expected number of isolated vertices in a random plane graph is about . For , we prove that the expected number of vertices of degree is always less than Our analysis is based on cross-graph charging schemes. That is, we move charge between vertices from different plane graphs of the same point set. This leads to information about the expected behavior of a random plane graph.
