Abstract

Denote by an ll-component a connected graph with ll edges more than vertices. We prove that the expected number of creations of (l+1)(l+1)-component, by means of adding a new edge to an ll-component in a randomly growing graph with nn vertices, tends to 1 as l,nl,n tends to \infty but with l=o(n1/4)l = o(n^{1/4}). We also show, under the same conditions on ll and nn, that the expected number of vertices that ever belong to an ll-component is (12l)1/3n2/3\sim (12l)^{1/3} n^{2/3}.
