Long-range disassortative correlations in generic random trees

Statistical Mechanics 2010-05-04 v3 Other Condensed Matter

Abstract

We explicitly calculate the distance dependent correlation functions in a maximal entropy ensemble of random trees. We show that correlations remain disassortative at all distances and vanish only as a second inverse power of the distance. We discuss in detail the example of scale-free trees where the diverging second moment of the degree distribution leads to some interesting phenomena.
