The connected components

The connected components
Molloy and Reed [1995] showed that for a
random graph with
vertices
of degree i, where
are non-negative values which sum to 1, the
giant component emerges when

So
long as the maximum degree is less than
They also show that almost surely there is no
giant component when
and
maximum degree less than ![]()
Here
we compute Q for our
graphs.

![]()
We
are thus led to consider the value
which is a solution to
![]()
If
![]()

We
first summarize the results here:
1.
When
the random graph a. s. has no giant component.
When
there is almost surely a unique giant
component.
2.
When
almost surely the second largest components
have size
there is almost surely a component of size x.
3.
When
almost surely the second largest components
are of size
For any
there is almost surely a component of size x.
4.
When
the second largest components are a. s. of
size
The graph is almost surely not connected.
5.
When 0 <β< 1, the graph is almost surely
connected.
6.
For
β = β0 = 3.47875 ..., this is a very complicated case. It corresponds to the
double jump of random graph G(n, p) with p = 1 n. For β = 1, there is a nontrivial
probability for either cases that the graph is connected or disconnected.
7.
For
this case is complicated case. It corresponds
to the double jump of random graph
with
.
8.
For
, there is a nontrivial
probability for either cases that the graph is connected or disconnected.
We
remark that for β > 8, Molloy and Reed’s result immediately implies that
almost surely there is no giant component. When β ≤ 8, additional analysis is
needed to deal with the degree constraints. We will prove in Theorem 4.2 that
almost surely there is no giant component when ![]()
In section 5, we will deal with the range
We will show theorem5.1 that almost surely
there is a unique giant component when
furthermore,
we will determine the size of the second largest components within a constant
factor.
