We consider a general class of preferential attachment schemes evolving by a reinforcement rule with respect to certain sublinear weights. In these schemes, which grow a random network, the sequence of degree distributions is an object of…

The random graph model has recently been extended to a random preferential attachment graph model, in order to enable the study of general asymptotic properties in network types that are better represented by the preferential attachment…

The directed preferential attachment model is revisited. A new exact characterization of the limiting in- and out-degree distribution is given by two \emph{independent} pure birth processes that are observed at a common exponentially…

We consider a preferential attachment random graph with self-reinforcement. Each time a new vertex comes in, it attaches itself to an old vertex with a probability that is proportional to the sum of the degrees of that old vertex at all…

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 study the growth of a directed network, in which the growth is constrained by the cost of adding links to the existing nodes. We propose a new preferential-attachment scheme, in which a new node attaches to an existing node i with…

Complex networks in different areas exhibit degree distributions with heavy upper tail. A preferential attachment mechanism in a growth process produces a graph with this feature. We herein investigate a variant of the simple preferential…

A variation of the preferential attachment random graph model of Barab\'asi and Albert is defined that incorporates planted communities. The graph is built progressively, with new vertices attaching to the existing ones one-by-one. At every…

We are interested in the asymptotics of random trees built by linear preferential attachment, also known in the literature as Barab\'asi-Albert trees or plane-oriented recursive trees. We first prove a conjecture of Bubeck, Mossel \& R\'acz…

For $0<\alpha<1,$ and $\theta>-\alpha,$ let $(S^{-\alpha}_{\alpha,\theta+r})_{\{r\ge 0\}}$ denote an increasing(decreasing) sequence of variables forming a time inhomogeneous Markov chain whose marginal distributions are equivalent to…

Models based on preferential attachment have had much success in reproducing the power law degree distributions which seem ubiquitous in both natural and engineered systems. Here, rather than assuming preferential attachment, we give an…

We analyze a dynamic random undirected graph in which newly added vertices are connected to those already present in the graph either using, with probability $p$, an anti-preferential attachment mechanism or, with probability $1-p$, a…

The analysis in this paper helps to explain the formation of growing networks with degree distributions that follow extended exponential or power-law tails. We present a generic model in which edge dynamics are driven by a continuous…

The degree distributions of complex networks are usually considered to be power law. However, it is not the case for a large number of them. We thus propose a new model able to build random growing networks with (almost) any wanted degree…

We introduce a new type of preferential attachment tree that includes choices in its evolution, like with Achlioptas processes. At each step in the growth of the graph, a new vertex is introduced. Two possible neighbor vertices are selected…

We provide an analytic expression for the quantity described in the title. Namely, we perform a preferential attachment growth process to generate a scale-free network. At each stage we add a new node with $m$ new links. Let $k$ denote the…

Bollob\'as-Riordan random pairing model of a preferential attachment graph $G_m^n$ is studied. Let $\{W_j\}_{j\le mn+1}$ be the process of sums of independent exponentials with mean $1$. We prove that the degrees of the first…

We show that the load at each node in a preferential attachment network scales as a power of the degree of the node. For a network whose degree distribution is p(k) ~ k^(-gamma), we show that the load is l(k) ~ k^eta with eta = gamma - 1,…

We propose a preferential attachment model for network growth where new entering nodes have a partial information about the state of the network. Our main result is that the presence of bounded information modifies the degree distribution…
