Many important real-world networks manifest "small-world" properties such as scale-free degree distributions, small diameters, and clustering. The most common model of growth for these networks is "preferential attachment", where nodes…

This paper provides time-dependent expressions for the expected degree distribution of a given network that is subject to growth, as a function of time. We consider both uniform attachment, where incoming nodes form links to existing nodes…

Many networks exhibit scale free behavior where their degree distribution obeys a power law for large vertex degrees. Models constructed to explain this phenomena have relied on preferential attachment where the networks grow by the…

A vertex of a randomly growing graph is called a persistent hub if at all but finitely many moments of time it has the maximal degree in the graph. We establish the existence of a persistent hub in the Barab\'asi--Albert random graph model…

We study the number $X^{(n)}$ of vertices that can be reached from the last added vertex $n$ via a directed path (the descendants) in the standard preferential attachment graph. In this model, vertices are sequentially added, each born with…

We study logical limit laws for preferential attachment random graphs. In this random graph model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $1$, we start with vertices $0,1$ and $m$ edges between them. At step $n+1$ the vertex…

We study preferential attachment models where vertices enter the network with i.i.d. random numbers of edges that we call the out-degree. We identify the local limit of such models, substantially extending the work of Berger et al.(2014).…

We deal with a general preferential attachment graph model with multiple type edges. The types are chosen randomly, in a way that depends on the evolution of the graph. In the $N$-type case, we define the (generalized) degree of a given…

The preferential attachment network with fitness is a dynamic random graph model. New vertices are introduced consecutively and a new vertex is attached to an old vertex with probability proportional to the degree of the old one multiplied…

The linear preferential attachment hypothesis has been shown to be quite successful to explain the existence of networks with power-law degree distributions. It is then quite important to determine if this mechanism is the consequence of a…

We study an asymptotical behavior of the maximal degree in the degree distribution in an evolving tree model combining the local choice and the Mori's preferential attachment. In the considered model, the random graph is constructed in the…

For a sequence of random graphs, the limit law we refer to is the existence of a limiting probability of any graph property that can be expressed in terms of predicate logic. A zero-one limit law is shown by Shelah and Spencer for…

Preferential attachment is often suggested to be the underlying mechanism of the growth of a network, largely due to that many real networks are, to a certain extent, scale-free. However, such attribution is usually made under debatable…

We introduce a model of a preferential attachment based random graph which extends the family of models in which condensation phenomena can occur. Each vertex has an associated uniform random variable which we call its location. Our model…
