We consider the length $L(n)$ of the longest path in a randomly generated Apollonian Network (ApN) ${\cal A}_n$. We show that w.h.p. $L(n)\leq ne^{-\log^cn}$ for any constant $c<2/3$.
We consider the following iterative construction of a random planar triangulation. Start with a triangle embedded in the plane. In each step, choose a bounded face uniformly at random, add a vertex inside that face and join it to the…

Many real world networks (graphs) are observed to be 'small worlds', i.e., the average path length among nodes is small. On the other hand, it is somewhat unclear what other average path length values networks can produce. In particular, it…
