Abstract

We derive an expression of the form c ln n + o(ln n) for the diameter of a sparse random graph with a specified degree sequence. The result holds asymptotically almost surely, assuming that certain convergence and supercriticality conditions are met, and is applicable to the classical random graph Gn,p with np = Θ(1) + 1, as well as certain random power law graphs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
