We study preferential attachment mechanisms in random graphs that are parameterized by (i) a constant bias affecting the degree-biased distribution on the vertex set and (ii) the distribution of times at which new vertices are created by…

We use the framework of multivariate regular variation to analyse the extremal behaviour of preferential attachment models. To this end, we follow a directed linear preferential attachment model for a random, heavy-tailed number of steps in…

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 study the empirical spectral distribution of the normalized Laplacian of linear preferential attachment graphs in the Barab{\'a}si-Albert regime with fixed out-degree. For the resulting sequence of random multigraphs, we prove that the…

In real life, networks are dynamic in nature; they grow over time and often exhibit power-law degree sequences. To model the evolving structure of the internet, Barab\'{a}si and Albert introduced a simple dynamic model with a power-law…

We study an evolving spatial network in which sequentially arriving vertices are joined to existing vertices at random according to a rule that combines preference according to degree with preference according to spatial proximity. We…

We study fixed point biased involutions that avoid a pattern. For every pattern of length three we obtain limit theorems for the asymptotic distribution of the (appropriately centered and scaled) number of fixed points of a random fixed…

We propose an extension of the preferential attachment scheme by allowing the connecting probability to depend on time t. We estimate the parameters involved in the model by minimizing the expected squared difference between the number of…

The unconstrained exponential family of random graphs assumes no prior knowledge of the graph before sampling, but it is natural to consider situations where partial information about the graph is known, for example the total number of…

We study the standard SIS model of epidemic spreading on networks where individuals have a fluctuating number of connections around a preferred degree $\kappa $. Using very simple rules for forming such preferred degree networks, we find…

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…

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…

Preferential attachment in a directed scale-free graph is widely used to model the evolution of social networks. Statistical analyses of social networks often relies on node based data rather than conventional repeated sampling. For our…

Identifying the generating mechanism of a network is challenging as, more often than not, only snapshots are available, but not the full evolution. One candidate for the generating mechanism is preferential attachment which, in its simplest…
