A model is proposed for generating stationary simple graphs on $\\mathbb{Z}$ with degree distribution $F$ and it is shown for this model that the expected total length of all edges at a given vertex is finite if $F$ has finite second moment. It is not hard to see that any stationary model for generating simple graphs on $\\mathbb{Z}$ will give infinite mean for the total edge length per vertex if $F$ does not have finite second moment. Hence, finite second moment of $F$ is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a model with finite mean total edge length.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-23T14:09:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stationary random graphs", "finite mean connections", "prescribed iid degrees", "finite second moment", "finite mean total edge length" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150906994D" } } }
