Introduction to Random Graphs Flashcards
graph
pair of vertex set and edge set
complete graph
n vertices and all possible edges
subgraph
subset of vertices and subset of edges
G(n,p) Erdos-Renyi random graph
random spanning subgraph of Kn
P(E(G(n,p))=s)=p^s(1-p)^{{n choose 2} - s}
connected
there is a path between any pair of vertices
//one component
cycle
sequence of distinct vertices and there is edge v_n to v_1
occurs with high probability
lim P(A_n) =1 as n tends to infinity
neighbour
(v,w) in E
edges in complete
n choose 2
spanning subgraph
V’=V
tree
connected graph with no cycles
component
maximal connected subgraph
Cayley’s formula/number of trees on n vertices
n^{n-2}
a_n=o(b_n)
a_n/b_n tends to 0 as n tends to infinity
a_n=O(b_n)
there exists C such that a_n =< Cb_n for all n
