New vertices are introduced consecutively and a new vertex is attached to an old vertex with probability proportional to the degree of the old one multiplied by a random fitness. We concentrate on the typical behaviour of the graph by calculating the fitness distribution of a vertex chosen proportional to its degree. For a particular variant of the model, this analysis was first carried out by Borgs, Chayes, Daskalakis and Roch. However, we present a new method, which is robust in the sense that it does not depend on the exact specification of the attachment law. In particular, we show that a peculiar phenomenon, referred to as Bose-Einstein condensation, can be observed in a wide variety of models. Finally, we also compute the joint degree and fitness distribution of a uniformly chosen vertex.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-02-14T12:27:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C80", "60G42", "90B15" ], "keywords": [ "preferential attachment models", "robust analysis", "fitness distribution", "dynamic random graph model", "preferential attachment network" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.3385D" } } }
