Abstract

Let FF be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. A model is proposed for generating stationary simple graphs on Z\mathbb{Z} with degree distribution FF and it is shown for this model that the expected total length of all edges at a given vertex is finite if FF has finite second moment. It is not hard to see that any stationary model for generating simple graphs on Z\mathbb{Z} will give infinite mean for the total edge length per vertex if FF does not have finite second moment. Hence, finite second moment of FF is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a model with finite mean total edge length.
