In this random graph model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $1$, we start with vertices $0,1$ and $m$ edges between them. At step $n+1$ the vertex $n+1$ is introduced together with $m$ edges joining the new vertex with $m$ vertices chosen from $1,\\ldots,n$ independently with probabilities proportional to their degrees plus a positive parameter $\\delta$. We prove that this random graph obeys the convergence law for first-order sentences with at most $m-2$ variables.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-18T12:37:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C80" ], "keywords": [ "preferential attachment random graphs", "variable first-order logic", "random graph model", "study logical limit laws", "random graph obeys" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
